Advantages of Solar Roof Top Photovoltaic Installations
An independent power source for your new home is not something that home owners usually think of. It is a given, that electricity for your home will be supplied by the state electricity board or the local utility company. This used to be the situation until lately. Not any more. Home owners can now start thinking of Solar energy to power their homes together with state supplied power thereby enjoying the several advantages it gives.
1. Neglected resources
Today, there are two resources that a home owner is currently neglecting. First is the abundant Solar energy that is freely available and the second is the area of the roof available to the home owner. The average intensity of solar irradiation in India is 5.5 kWh/Sq. M/Day. This amounts to a daily energy receipt of 55 kWh for a roof with an available area of 10 Sq. M. This energy goes waste unbeknownst to us. The home owner can easily harness a portion of it for his daily needs and export to grid if he uses the technology available today to convert Solar energy into electricity.
2. Technology for Solar energy conversion
Using cost effective PV Solar panels and proven electronic Solar inverters easily available today, solar energy is converted to high quality pure sine wave 3 Phase electrical energy for usage. The Solar panels convert solar energy into Direct Current (DC) and DC flows into the inverter which converts the DC into Alternating Current (AC) that can be used and/or exported to the Grid.
If your home needs Uninterrupted power, then a battery bank for storing the solar energy can also be considered.
The Home owner needs to talk to a LightLeader System integrator for nitty-gritty of the work involved and for help in installing and setting to work.
3. Roof top Solar panels stops direct heat in to home.
A home owner may be compelled to use free land that may be available in her residential compound to install the solar panels. While this may make it easier to gain access and clean the solar panels, there are a couple of compelling advantages to be derived by installing it on the roof top as follows:
- Reduce heat inside the house: During the summer months, the upper floor of the house gets extremely warm due to direct sunlight on the roof. This heat makes it impossible to use the upper floors without a fan or an air conditioner. When the solar panels cover the roof, the heat due to direct sunlight is reduced drastically and gives relief to the home owner.
- Visit the roof of your house: An access to the roof along with a piped water source is essential for cleaning the solar panels once a week. This makes us visit our roof once a week thereby noticing the state of the roof and paying attention to the maintenance of the roof by sweeping and cleaning as well as taking care of any problem that we come to notice only when it manifests as a major problem such as a water tank leakage etc.
- Save arable land from being used for Solar panels: The utilization of the roof for mounting solar panels allows for better utilization of available land area.
4. Save your electrical gadgets from power fluctuations.
The power fluctuations that happen due to the poor quality of power supplied by the local utility company can affect your electrical gadgets at home leading to their frequent failures. Avoid such frequent failures of electrical gadgets by this using the high quality power supplied by the Solar power system.
5. Get money in your bank accounts.
Home owners in Bangalore have been getting cash in their accounts from the local utility company for the electricity that they are exporting from the their SRTPV Net-metering system.
All in all, it makes tremendous sense to go ahead with your plans to install a Solar Roof Top without any further delay. Please contact LightLeader team to get help for installing the Solar Rooftop power system in your home.
