Solar panels generate electricity from light, basically speaking. Therefore, the sun is our biggest source of light and we mainly use the free radiant light or energy from the sun in combination with solar panels to generate electricity in Orkney. Light travels from the sun in particles known as photons. The photons received from the sun, makes direct contact with the solar PV panel collector which then breaks electrons free from atoms, therefore, generating a flow of current or electricity for your home in Orkney. Basically, the solar panel’s photovoltaic cells convert solar energy from the sun into usable electricity. The electricity generated by solar panels installed in Klerskdorp, are collected as DC (direct current) energy. The direct current is then transferred to a solar inverter and is converted to AC (alternate current) energy which could power your electrical devices in Orkney.

Maintenance on solar panels are not really required if the solar panels were installed carefully and correctly in Orkney. As stated before, solar panels can last a very long time in Orkney, due to their design and quality-built factor. If you keep your solar panels clean from snow, dust and debris, they should last for years to come at your home situated in Orkney.

Solar Panels in Orkney can last for decades because solar panels are very durable product with no moving parts. Many solar panel manufacturers provide solar panel warranties up to 30 years for residents in Orkney. However, solar panels can become less efficient over the years to produce clean energy compared to when you installed them in Orkney. Solar Panels in Orkney lose around 0.5 efficiency per year which is not much at all.

Determining the amount of solar PV panels you require would depend on your solar requirements and electricity usage for your home in Orkney.  An easy start to determine the number of solar panels you require in Orkney, is to determine the flowing factors:

• How much energy does your home consume in Orkney?
• Is your home in Orkney’s roof capable for solar panel installations and what is the area size of your roof?
• Most areas around Orkney have sunny days, but are your house situated to receive direct sunlight?
• The required wattage and efficiency of the solar panels you want to install at your home in Orkney.

Monocrystalline solar panels usually produce the highest efficiencies to generate solar energy in Orkney. Also, monocrystalline PV panels have the highest power capacities in Orkney. Most efficiencies of monocrystalline PV panels reach more than 20% while polycrystalline solar panels reach 15% to 17% in the area of Orkney. Monocrystalline solar panels usually have higher wattage modules which allow them to generate more power from the sun in Orkney.

Polycrystalline and Monocrystalline solar panels in Orkney have solar cells made of silicon slices or wafers. To build a polycrystalline or monocrystalline solar panel, slices are placed into rows and columns which creates a rectangle covered with a glass sheet, then also framed together for people in Orkney. Polycrystalline solar panels and monocrystalline solar panels are made in this manner. Monocrystalline PV panels and Polycrystalline PV panels consists of silicon cells designed in slices. However, monocrystalline and polycrystalline have differences with the architecture of the silicon designs. A single pure crystal is used to construct solar cells which are used in the design of monocrystalline PV panels in Orkney. Designing Polycrystalline solar panel solar cells, pieces of silicon crystals are melted together to form a mould before they’re cut into slices or wafers.

We know that solar panels in Orkney produce energy or electricity in a DC current, but our electrical appliances require AC current in a sine wave to operate without damages made the the appliances. Therefore, we use a solar inverter in Orkney. A solar inverter converts the DC current obtained by the solar panels in the solar battery bank, and transforms it into a working and clean AC electrical current for household use in Orkney. Without a solar inverter, the solar panel array and the solar battery bank would be useless when it comes to powering computers, fridges and other household appliances in Orkney.

Solar panels in Orkney produce DC current which is connected to a regular AC grid by the means of a solar inverter. So basically, the solar panels generate electricity which can be connected to the electricity grid of Orkney by the means of a grid-tied solar inverter. Setting up such a system, allows you to supply a load by using solar power or the Eskom’s electricity grid in Orkney. A grid-tied solar inverter latches itself to the electricity grid’s frequencies and voltages in Orkney. A grid-tied inverter can only be installed in locations such as Orkney where there is an electricity grid available. When the solar array produces more current than what is needed for a home in Orkney, the grid-tie inverter diverts all the excessive electricity back into the Eskom grid.

Off-grid solar inverters in Orkney are best suited for people who want to be completely off the Eskom grid and be self-efficient, or for people who do not have access to Eskom’s electricity grid. A fully installed off-grid solar system in Orkney can be pricey but, it can save large amount of money in the long term. Solar panels in Orkney generate DC power which is stored in a solar battery bank. The off-grid solar inverter converts the DC power stored in the battery bank to AC current to use in your home in Orkney. A off-grid solar inverter can also be connected to a generator as a backup power if the solar panels doesn’t produce enough power in Orkney. Therefore, installing a complete off-grid solar system in Orkney with an off-grid solar inverter, always ensure to correctly size your solar panel array and also your battery bank. Solar Guru’s Orkney solar team of experts can assist you with correctly sizing an off-grid solar inverter and system.

The most simple and economical solar and battery systems use a hybrid solar inverter in Orkney. These inverters combine a solar inverter, charger and battery inverter together with software which can be programmed to determine the most efficient use of your available energy in Orkney. Having all the components in one simple plug and play unit means hybrid inverters in Orkney are generally much lower cost and easier to install. These hybrid solar inverters in Orkney also offer instantaneous backup like a UPS.

a Hybrid inverter are a very affordable choice for average size households in Orkney who want to be more self-sufficient using solar and batteries but don’t intend on disconnecting from the grid or rarely experience blackouts,

a hybrid solar system in Orkney uses a simple hybrid inverter which contains a solar inverter and battery inverter/charger together with clever controls which determine the most efficient use of your available energy.
