As the winter chill sets in, harnessing the power of the sun becomes even more crucial for maintaining a sustainable and efficient energy source. At NAZ Solar Electric, we understand the unique challenges that winter weather can pose to solar power systems. To help you make the most of your solar investment during the colder months, here are some essential tips for caring for your solar power system:
For most DC-coupled off-grid systems it really comes down to four main components – solar panels, charger controller, inverter and the battery bank.
Understanding battery types and chemistries can be confusing for those new to solar energy. It’s important to understand the basics of how they are different so you can choose the right battery type for your solar power application.
Many customers ask about the differences in purchasing a pre-wired system - for example, one of Outback’s FPR panels vs purchasing the same components individually.
When investing in a solar system, it is normal to inquire about the longevity. There are several components to a solar power system, so it is important to consider everything when evaluating the life expectancy of the overall system.
A common misconception about grid-tie solar systems is that during a power outage or grid failure, the solar system will continue to provide power to loads. Due to the nature of grid-tie solar systems and how they are designed, all power output to the grid must cease during an outage unless other backups are designed into the solar system, which basically changes the nature of the system entirely.
