Question 1

How big should my system be?

Accepted Answer

That is an excellent question! 
We include the sizing requirements in our design process, so all you need to to is tell us what you want the system to achieve and we will size it correctly for you!

Some good things to think about are how often you use air conditioning, and water heating as these will be the largest consumers of power in your household. If you are going to be charging your EV through solar this is also an important consideration.

In general a residential solar system will be between 3-8kW but your needs may vary so get in touch with us to organise a free consultation today!

Question 2

What components will make up my system?

Accepted Answer

That's the great thing about our design process! We will work out everything you will need and organise a free quote for them all. 
 
In most cases a solar power system will be made up of 3 parts as follows:
- The solar panels (for generating the power)
- The charge controller / inverter (for regulating and converting the power)
- And the battery (for storing the energy generated)

But some situations may not require the battery, and some may need additional components like a vehicle charger. Please do not hesitate to reach out to us and book in a formal consultation!

Question 3

What is a Watt?

Accepted Answer

A watt is the metric unit for power, equal to the product of current in amperes (A) and voltage in volts (V). I.e. one watt equals one volt multiplied by one amp.
 
Put more simply, a watt is a unit which shows the size of a solar system. On our website we often refer to a solar system as being a certain number of watts or kilo-watts, this just refers to the maximum power that a given system of solar panels will generate if the conditions are perfect.
