INNOVATIVE OPTION

ENERGY THAT CHANGES:
GRID-ACCEPTABLE ALTERNATING CURRENT

THE HEART OF EVERY SOLAR ENERGY SYSTEM

Grid tied supplementary systems

•  Solar panel arrays connected to SMA inverters ( either single or three phase)

•  These systems do not have storage (batteries) and would only supplement the power provided for by the municipality/ Eskom.

•  Complex return of investement: dependant on the initial tariff and tariff increases, between 3-7 years.

•  Lifespan of installation: 25 years plus.

• Warranty:
Solar panels carry a 25 year production warranty and the inverters have a standard 5 year warranty which can be extended to 25 years.

This option would be recommended for commercial buildings

 

SMA Advantages

•  Highest efficiency (97%) on inverters

•  Inverting at source reduces cable losses

•  Sunny island system synchronises all power sources and loads

Intelligently provides power from batteries during day time operation should the system demand it
