How Solar Panels work

Solar power works by converting sunlight into electricity using photovoltaic (PV) cells. These cells are installed on your roof or other suitable locations and generate direct current (DC) when exposed to sunlight. The Inverter the converts DC electricity into alternating current (AC), which can be used to power your home. One of the key advantages of solar power is its ability to significantly reduce or even eliminate your reliance on the grid. It’s not just about giving you peace of mind, but also about ensuring long-term efficiency, reliability, and sustainability for your energy needs.

Battery Storage

Battery Storage Installation

Solar power alone has its limitations, particularly during the night or on cloudy days when sunlight is insufficient. This is where battery storage comes into play. Battery storage systems store the excess energy generated by your solar panels during the day, allowing you to use it when the sun isn't shining. This means that you maximise the efficiency of your solar power system and never waste a single ray of sunshine. Did you know, you don’t necessarily need Solar Panels to enjoy the benefit of the Battery Storage System? Without Solar panels, you can still have a Battery Storage System installed, its called an “AC coupled system”. If your electricity provider offers cheaper electricity rates, you can simply use the off peak time period to charge your batteries, and use the stored energy at daytime when the electricity is more expensive.

Home back up

Battery storage provides a reliable backup power source during grid outages, ensuring that your essential appliances and devices continue to operate without interruption. Here at D Electrics we also offer 'Whole Home Back Up' or 'Partial Home Back Up' systems. Having a Solar and Battery Storage system itself does not mean its a 'Home Back Up' as during power outrages the power feeding your Inverter keeps running just as every other circuit in the house. We provide a solution for backing up your home during these black outs by installing a change over switch and essential protections for you to be able to use your stored power at the event of power failure.

The process of a Solar and Battery Storage System

The installation process for solar and battery storage systems begins with a thorough consultation and assessment of your needs. Here at D Electrics we will work with you to design a custom system that meets your specific requirements and maximises your energy savings. Once the design is finalised, we will handle the entire installation process, ensuring that it is done professionally and efficiently.

Why choose a Solar Installation?

One of the main reasons for choosing solar and battery storage is the potential for significant cost savings. By generating your own electricity, you can drastically reduce your utility bills. In some cases, home owners can achieve zero energy costs, depending on the size of their system and their energy usage. Additionally, homes equipped with solar panels and battery storage systems are increasing the property's market value.

Beyond the financial benefits, solar and battery storage installations offer substantial environmental advantages. By switching to solar power, you help reduce carbon emissions and decrease your carbon footprint, contributing to a healthier environment for future generations. This move towards sustainable living not only benefits the planet but also aligns with the growing movement for environmentally responsible choices.

Choosing a Solar Installation is a smart investment

Solar and battery storage installation is a smart investment that offers numerous benefits, including cost savings, energy independence, and environmental responsibility.

Common Solar questions

Here we try to answer some of the most common questions we get asked about solar panels and battery charger installations

Q: Will installing solar panels on my roof compromise the water tightness of the roofing materials?

A: Yes, we make sure the water tightness remain the same. When installing roof hooks, we grind the bottom of the tiles so they sit perfectly in the roof hook. This means that not only is water tightness maintained but there is no additional pressure on the tiles.

Q: I have a Solar Panel and Battery Storage System, does this mean I will have power during power outrages?

A: No, to have a house back up, or to use the EPS (Emergency Power Supply) function, there are additional equipment and safety measures that need to be in place. Its better to consult with us so we can provide you with the most efficient solution to fit your circumstances.

Q: Can the Inverter and the Battery Storage be installed in the Loft?

A: Its is highly recommended not to install any of them up in the loft.
