The 3 types of Solar Power Systems
A professionally installed solar power system is an investment that will save your home and business money for decades to come
“There is nothing surer – electricity prices will rise!“
Installation
A solar power system is a mini electricity generation plant. That’s pretty serious!
It is imperative that a solar power system is not only installed correctly but also designed appropriately.
It is not a simple case of one-size-fits-all for solar. Our team of licensed electricians and solar designers/installers (NOT pushy salespeople) will create a system that best suits your premises and electricity usage.
There are a lot of things to take into account when installing a solar power system and it is a decision that warrants careful consideration. This Handy Guide to Solar Power is a great place to start.
What’s the Difference
Off-Grid Solar
Off-Grid, Remote & Stand Alone Solar Power Systems
What are the components of an off-grid solar power system?
Reliability is paramount in off-grid solar power systems.
Hybrid Solar System
What is a hybrid solar system?
Essentially it is a grid-connected solar power system with battery storage. The solar power system produces power during the day time and the excess power is used to charge your batteries for night time use.
It combines the best of both worlds: the convenience of a grid-connected system — including the ability to earn Feed-In Tariff credits — with the extra peace of mind from being able to use the power stored in your battery at night time.
With many hybrid set-ups, you will also have power during a power blackout.
Designing hybrid solar power systems is complex and there are many factors to take into consideration.
The two main considerations are:
- Your peak power usage i.e the most power you will use at any one point in time; and
- The amount of power that you expect to use during non-solar producing hours (ie night time).
Your system is designed to provide you with sufficient autonomy and breathing space to meet your future power needs.
Our experienced team of CEC accredited designers help guide you towards the type of system that is going to meet your needs and serve you best now, and in the future.
LG Authorised Dealer
As an LG Authorised Solar Dealer, Electrical Sensations’ first preference is to install LG solar panels.
Teamed with quality Fronius, SMA or Selectronics (for off-grid applications) inverters, we KNOW our systems will perform well, without a doubt.
The addition of batteries can dramatically increase the savings potential of a solar power system, particularly for clients on peak-demand tariffs. Ecoult and LG Chem are among our preferred battery add-ons for commercial clients.
