A Reliable and Efficient Choice for Solar Power Systems

Solar power has become an increasingly popular option for homeowners and businesses looking to reduce their energy costs and environmental footprint. One essential component of any solar power system is the inverter, which converts the DC power generated by solar panels into usable AC power for homes and businesses. Solis inverters are one of the leading brands on the market, offering a range of benefits for solar power system owners.

This means that they can convert a greater percentage of DC power into AC power, maximizing the energy output of your solar panels. High conversion efficiency is especially important for those with limited roof space or those looking to maximize the energy output of their solar power system.


Flexibility


Solis inverters come in a variety of sizes, making them suitable for a wide range of applications. From small residential systems to large commercial installations, Solis inverters offer flexibility in terms of the size and complexity of your solar power system. They can also be used in both grid-tied and off-grid applications, providing a versatile solution for your energy needs.


Easy to Install


Solis inverters are designed to be easy to install, with plug-and-play functionality that simplifies the installation process. This means that you can have your solar power system up and running quickly, without the need for complex wiring or configuration.


Durability


Solis inverters are built to last, with rugged construction and advanced cooling systems that help them operate reliably in even the harshest environments. They are also resistant to dust and moisture, making them ideal for use in locations with extreme weather conditions. Solis inverters are backed by a 5-year warranty, ensuring that you can rely on your solar power system for years to come.


Monitoring and Control


Solis inverters come with advanced monitoring and control capabilities that allow users to monitor system performance and make adjustments as needed. This means that you can track the energy output of your solar power system and make changes to optimize its efficiency. Solis inverters also come with smartphone apps that provide real-time data on system performance, making it easy to stay on top of your energy usage and production.


Competitive Pricing


Solis inverters offer excellent value for money, with competitive pricing that makes them an attractive choice for both residential and commercial applications. This means that you can invest in a high-quality solar power system without breaking the bank.


Conclusion



Solis inverters are a reliable, efficient, and cost-effective choice for anyone looking to install a solar power system. With high efficiency, flexibility, easy installation, durability, advanced monitoring and control, and competitive pricing, Solis inverters offer a range of benefits that make them an excellent choice for any solar power system.

180+ Solar Installations for Wates

October 29, 2024
Over the past year, Expert Energy Group has been engaged in a comprehensive tender process to install solar PV systems across Hertfordshire for Settle Housing, commissioned by Wates Group under the SHDF Wave 2 initiative. To date, we have successfully installed over 180 solar PV systems, with capacities ranging from 1.6kW to 3.4kW, totaling 454kW of installed power. Each system has been equipped with monitoring capabilities, enabling the housing association to track energy generation and promptly identify any potential issues. In addition to solar PV installations, we have contributed to the deployment of energy-efficient lighting and decentralized mechanical ventilation systems. The SHDF program's objective is to enhance the EPC ratings of social housing properties to a minimum of grade C. Our proven expertise and commitment to excellence offer confidence to residents, the housing association, and the main contractor, ensuring our ongoing role in this project through 2025.

Can I Generate Solar In Cloudy Weather?

By John Harrow • May 18, 2021
Yes, solar panels do produce electricity in cloudy weather. They don’t produce as much electricity as they do on sunny days, but they have been shown to produce 25% of what they produce on a sunny day, or 10% when it’s very cloudy. You can still get sunburned even in cloudy weather, especially if your bald like me. Even thought clouds block direct sunlight, rays still penetrate the clouds and this is what burns us and also what we need to generate power with solar panels. To keep it simple solar panels only need daylight, not direct sunlight. So if you can see outside without artificial lights such as street lights, then there is enough natural light to be absorb by your solar panel. Cloudy weather can have far less of an impact on solar panel efficiency than many people think. The American cities of New York and Seattle, for example, are amongst the top US cities for solar panel savings. Similarly, Germany accounts for about 25% of the world’s solar power, while being simultaneously famous for its lack of sunlight. Nevertheless, it achieved its strongest growth output in about half a decade last year. So, how does that work for them with less-than-optimal weather? Basically, it’s because it’s the local cost of electricity, and not the amount of cloud cover, that influences the scale of the savings that people and businesses are able to make with solar panel installations. Interestingly, although they work better on sunny versus cloudy days, solar panels don't work best in particularly hot climates. In fact, solar panel output begins to fall if the temperature rises above 25 degrees Celsius. There’s even a phenomenon in which cloudy weather can actually lead to increased output of solar panels, compared to a bright and cloudless day. This is called the Edge of Cloud effect. Essentially, sunlight can get magnified through refraction, just when the sun is emerging from (or being hidden behind) a bank of clouds. This leads to a sudden burst of energy, which can lead to a temporary but dramatic increase in output. Either way, solar panels can generate in cloudy and clear days and are a great investment even here in the UK!

Are Solar Panels Worth It?

By John Harrow • February 20, 2021
Most recently, the average electricity bill in the UK was around £600 per year. But there's quite a bit of variation around the UK, due to differences in household energy consumption and the price paid per kWh for electricity in different regions . According to the Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy, UK electricity prices per kwh were 17.2 p/kWh in 2020—but the average kwh cost UK ranged from 16.7 p/kWh in Yorkshire to 18.4 p/kWh in Merseyside & North Wales. Do you feel like energy prices have been rising? If so, you're right! Average unit costs have risen a remarkable 48.2% from 2010 to 2019. This historical average unit cost data is based on consumption of 3,800kWh/year as produced by the Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy. In fact 2021 has been a bumper year for energy price increases hitting an incredible 12% rise! If we apply the same logic and expect a similar increase of 48% over the next ten years by 2030 we will be paying on average 27.9 p/kWh! The average home consumes 3800 kWh per year. This will increase the average energy bill from around £650 per year to over £1000 per year. Installing solar panels can seem like a large initial outlay. However, if you pair them with a battery storage system you can virtually eliminate any need for electricity from the grid taking your bills to near £0! With the annual increase in energy prices you will be protecting yourself from these hikes, not to mention you can sell any excess power back to the grid. It’s about time the energy companies paid us! Call us today for a FREE Solar PV design! 21/02/2021
