Benefits of Going Solar
Environmentally friendly
Affordability
Even though Return-on-investment periods differ from system to system, the general ROI on a system seldom exceed 5 years at current utility power costs- no further compound utility power increases considered. A 5 year ROI means that if you repay the system cost at an amount equal to the savings on your utility bill every month your power will be free after year five – and you will likely have very little maintenance costs for many years .
Whether you start with a system with smaller generation than your needs or a system designed to take you off the grid or to reverse power into the grid for credit, every kilowatt hour your system generates will be meeting some of your energy needs with electricity that your solar system has generated, and your utility bill will drop accordingly. How much you save on your bill will be dependent on the size of the solar system.
Stable supply
Solar energy systems are not dependant on any raw materials to fulfil its potential. All a photovoltaic solar system will ever need to generate power is for earth to rotate around the sun. The energy that the sun provides to the earth for one hour could meet the global energy needs for one year. Modern PV panels have advanced to the point where open skies and direct sunlight is also not a requirement anymore. Panels generate proportional power through indirect sunlight even when the skies are overcast.
Solar is a recognised Value Asset
Properties with solar systems are valued higher by financial institutions and independent valuators than properties without such. Values are dependent on type of system, lifespan remainder and equipment guarantee.
Energy security & Independence
Hybrid solar Inverters allow for a back-up battery bank to be coupled to a solar system. These batteries are charged up by solar energy during daytime for standby use during grid failure and night-time periods. When a solar system with back-up is correctly designed and sized, it brings about electrical energy independence and load shedding, and other grid-outages, becomes irrelevant.
Low Maintenance Cost
Solar energy systems generally have a low maintenance factor as there are no moving parts and resultantly is no wear and tear. Panels need to be cleaned with mild soapy water every so often and inverters’ interior chambers need to be cleaned with pressurised air once every 18 months – cable integrity and connections needs to be checked and silicone dressed at the same time. This is normally included as a free service from your system supplier/installer.
