Renewable energy is getting cheaper !!!! really or is it just that our rate per unit from our utlity is getting more expensive? In any event the gap is closing and Solar Power Generation is now more of a reality than ever before.
PV Technology has improved, Inverters have improved and batteries??? Well thats the weak link at the moment.
This is why we should opt for grid tied solutions wherever possible, we generate power during the day time, feed it onto the Grid which becomes our battery and then draw off the grid during the night. So if the net result turned out to ZERO then we have designed our PV solution properly. If we generate too much during the day and we do not get reimbursed then we have over specified the system, if we are using the Grid during daylight hours then we have under catered.
So with the right information, proper planning and good quality products we should get as close to Zero as is possible and stay there for 20 to 30 years.
There is a culture that says that Solar energy is DC and under 24 volts so whay should we have to carry an electrical qualification? Is this a DIY product?
The simple answer is NO. This technology deserves the best attention to design philosophy , installation and quality of product. It is not cheap, so dont try to make it cheap, buy the best you can afford and enjoy a real investment rather than a half baked and ultimately ineffective solution.
