Load-shedding is a reality that nobody is happy about, here’s everything you need to know about solar energy systems.

What is solar energy system?

Solar energy is heat and radiant light from the Sun that can be harnessed with technologies such as solar power (which is used to generate electricity).

Solar technologies convert sunlight into electrical energy either through photovoltaic (PV) panels or through mirrors that concentrate solar radiation. This energy can be used to generate electricity or be stored in batteries for household and commercial use.

Who uses Solar energy systems?

·         Households

With electricity prices constantly on the rise and load-shedding here to stay for now homeowners are looking beyond a quick fix for long term use to beat our energy crisis.

From lighting your home, being able to use your home appliances, there is a lot of options available for homeowners.

·         Manufacturing
Production process uses a substantial amount of electricity; solar power will save a manufacturer millions overtime on utility and generator expenses as well as provides a hedge against energy price increases which will make a manufacturer more competitive.

·         Commercial
A commercial business, such as an office building, mall, or supermarket will see a similar return on investment as a manufacturer. If you have available roof space and would like to take control of your electricity costs, you are a perfect candidate for solar energy.

·         Agriculture
Solar power can be utilized in different sectors of agriculture. Electrical solar generated energy can be used for example in pumping water for irrigation, rural electrification and to operate various agricultural machinery.

·         Education
Schools and Universities utilize a lot of electricity every day. Once they shift to solar energy, schools and universities will surely benefit not only financially in term of reduction electricity expenses but also through their social impact in the community around them.

What problems does solar energy systems solve?

• Solar Reduces loss as load-shedding causes you to loss whether money or material.
• Solar Decreases risk of burglaries as they are more common during load-shedding than when power is available.
• Solar Protects your electrical equipment/appliance against damage due to power surges as any device connected to mains power when a surge occurs is at risk of being irreversibly damaged.
• Solar INCREASE productivity by providing steady power source (uninterrupted power supply) in order to continue with your work even during load-shedding.
• Solar energy does not rely on the use of fossil fuels, does not pollute air or water, and does not contribute to global warming, making it the preferable option for many
• Saves you money by reducing your electricity bills or totally eliminate them if using an off-grid solution.

Why should I have a solar system?

·         It’s a Reliable, Cost-Effective Energy Source

The sun is a renewable energy source. Fossil fuels will eventually run out, but sunlight won’t. For that reason, solar energy is highly reliable. And unlike fossil fuels which are expensive to mine and utilize, it doesn’t cost anything to receive sunlight. A one-time installation of solar equipment is all that’s needed to reap the benefits.

·         It Saves You Money in the Long Run

The cost of installing solar panels or a solar electric system has decreased in recent years. Some may still find the initial investment in solar energy to be intimidating. However, the key is remembering that installation is a one-time event. Paying for conventional electricity is a frequent, ongoing, and expensive obligation, especially as electric rates continue to rise. Making the investment in running your home or building off of solar energy will save you considerably more money over time.

·         It Promotes Energy Independence

Energy independence means not having to rely on the power grid. Not only does this method make you vulnerable to price spikes, but it’s also prone to outages, with no other means of powering your home, you could run into a variety of issues in the event of bad weather or damage to power lines. 

Using solar energy, especially when paired with a backup battery system, allows you to not be tied to unreliable power grids when you need energy most.

·         It’s Good for the Environment - The difference between solar energy and conventional electricity is that solar energy does not rely on the use of fossil fuels, does not pollute air or water, and does not contribute to global warming, making it the preferable option for many.

·         Solar energy works with the earth’s natural resources, whereas conventional electricity depletes or harms them.

·         SOLAR save’s your money by reducing your electricity bills or totally eliminate them if using an off-grid solution.

·         SOLAR is cost effective when comparing with generators as you only spend once and use natural energy instead of buying fuel to refill.

·         EASY TO MAINTAIN - It is a single-time investment for a long period of time and requires no additional expenditures once installed.

Why now is the right time to have solar?

 Solar electricity boosts your electricity independence! By investing in a solar system, you can easily protect yourself against unpredictable increases in utility prices, and enjoy cheap electricity throughout the entire day

·         Coal Shortage

Since the coal supply has hit rock bottom now, this is the right time to go solar. It will save you from relying entirely on the coal supply for power generation. Solar energy is a more convenient option than fossil fuel in various aspects, it guarantees almost zero energy production expense.

·         Electricity Tariff Hike

After a price hike in petrol and LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas), electricity rates are expected to increase drastically in our country. Coal is the main source of energy and the shortage in the coal supply is considered the main reason behind the electricity tariff hike. Consumers have to pay a higher energy bill every month once the hike comes into effect. An easy way to deal with the electricity tariff hike is switching to solar energy.

·         Diesel Petrol Price Hike

There has been a recent increase in fuel prices, Fuel companies might further increase fuel prices. Instead of worrying about diesel petrol price hike, companies can start using renewable resources like solar power to achieve energy sufficiency.

Where can solar be used?

The main advantage of solar is that it is renewable, clean source of electricity, Solar power is also scalable; this means that it can be deployed on an industrial scale or it can be used to power a single household.

Below are examples on how solar system could be used:

Electricity generation-solar panels come with varying electrical capacities that you can use to power your home appliances such as Tv, fans, and home lights.

Home owners who install solar power systems can receive numerous uses such as:

·         Potentially higher home values.

·         Reducing your home’s electrical bills.

Solar Energy for Households

This is the most common way that solar power is used in most homes. Electricity is essential because most of the tasks and appliances in many homes depend on it to function.  Solar electricity is more beneficial because of its easy accessibility and cost-effectiveness.  Solar panel generates electricity used in different functions and to power various appliances at home

Solar Energy for Solar Lighting

Another major use of solar power in homes is lighting as lights are found in almost all parts in a home including inside the houses, garden, landscape, garage and also security lights. Solar energy panels offer a less costly way to light your home, compared to electrical power.

Solar Energy for commercial business & Industries
A commercial business, such as an office building, mall, or supermarket will see a similar return on investment as a manufacturer. If you have available roof space and would like to take control of your electricity costs, you are a perfect candidate for solar energy.
