Modern society is looking for ways to use renewable energy sources efficiently. One of these is undoubtedly solar radiation. It is an inexhaustible source of energy. That is why photovoltaics are becoming increasingly popular. It is a very environmentally friendly solution that provides heat, hot water, and charges electric vehicles. The initial investment will pay for itself in about 8 to 14 years. In combination with a heat pump, your investment will pay for itself even faster. By storing excess energy in a rechargeable battery, you will also become partially energy self-sufficient and can even earn money.
Why choose photovoltaics for your roof?
You will reduce your annual electricity costs by up to 50%.
You will be energy independent for up to 140 days a year.
Thanks to the latest technology, you can monitor your energy consumptionon your mobile phone.
Your household will reduce its carbon footprint by 6 tons of CO2.
You can store the energy you generate in a battery and use your electricity later.
Can I only install photovoltaics on the south side of my roof? There is a myth that solar panels must be installed on a sloped roof facing south. In reality, they can also be installed on flat roofs or on sloped roofs facing west or east.
A photovoltaic power plant does not need direct sunlight to work. It can generate energy from radiation even when the sky is overcast. The sun is at its strongest around midday, but this is when members of the household are usually not at home and consumption is practically zero. The collected electrical energy is stored in a battery and you can use it when you need it.
Battery systems One of the main reasons to invest in a battery is the potential for cost savings. With a battery, you can minimize your electricity consumption during more expensive tariff periods, which will save you money in the long run. Some types of batteries can also function as a backup power source during power outages, which is especially useful in areas with unstable electricity supply.
Another advantage is better use of your own energy – instead of selling surplus energy back to the grid at low prices, you can store it and use it later, for example in the evening.
