Solar electric systems, which are also called photovoltaic or PV systems, are reliable and pollution-free. They make use of a renewable source of energy— the sun. And PV systems for homes and businesses are becoming more affordable all the time.
PV works best in an energy-efficient
building. So, adding insulation and energy-efficient lighting, appliances, and
windows is a good idea, to reduce your home’s overall electricity use before
you install a PV system.
To make PV systems even more
affordable, some utilities have net metering programs, which further enhance
the economics of PV. Net metering means that when your PV system generates more
power than you need, the excess goes to the utility grid and the meter runs
backward. This allows you to receive full retail value for the power that your
PV system generates.
A PV system can be a substantial
investment. As with any investment, careful planning will help you make the
right decisions for your home or business.
What is a solar electric or photovoltaic system?
What is a solar electric or photovoltaic system?
Photovoltaic (PV) systems convert sunlight
directly to electricity. They work any time the sun is shining, but more
electricity is produced when the sunlight is more intense and strikes the PV
modules directly (as when rays of sunlight are perpendicular to the PV
modules). Unlike solar thermal systems for heating water, PV does not use the
sun's heat to make electricity. Instead, electrons freed by the interaction of
sunlight with semiconductor materials in PV cells are captured as electric
current.
PV allows you to produce electricity— without
noise or air pollution—from a clean, renewable resource. A PV system never runs
out of fuel, and it won't increase oil imports.
The basic building block of PV
technology is the solar “cell.” Multiple PV cells are connected to form a PV “module,”
the smallest PV component sold commercially. Modules range in power output from
about 10 watts to 300 watts.
A PV system connected or “tied” to the
utility grid has these components:
• One or more PV modules, which are
connected to an inverter
• The inverter, which converts the system's
direct-current (DC) electricity to alternating current (AC)
• Batteries (optional) to provide energy
storage or backup power in case of a power interruption or outage on the grid.
AC electricity is compatible with the utility
grid. It powers our lights, appliances, computers, and televisions.
Net Metering
Net Metering
Special electricity meter (net-meter) will be fixed by the CEB/LECO to monitor additional power used from the grid; your monthly electricity bill will be calculated for these additional units only.
JLANKA systems are approved by the CEB and LECO to connect on to national power grid. Solaredge and SMA inverters have special inverter settings that enable them to work within the CEB specified grid parameters.
Fixed deposit in the bank vs. Buying a Solar system
In very early days it was possible to pay the electricity bill from the interest by fixed depositing the investment of a solar power generation. But now it is not possible at all because
1. The investment have reduced dramatically as per kW price
2. The electricity tariff has increased to very high levels
3. The interest rates for the fixed deposits is less than rate of rise of electricity bills
4. Protected against sudden rise of electricity tariff rates
Therefore fix deposits are no longer an investment, when compared to investing in solar power generation plants. Exploring market for various solar solution, it’s clear that some provide systems with shorter warranty period and less overall harvesting under Sri Lankan weather conditions. JLanka have the correct solution with longest warranty period to have the maximum return.
Why not add the prices for 2kW and 5kW systems and add the warranty options you offer? It will increase the incentive to purchase an installation.

It can cut your bills and sunlight is free, so once you've paid for the initial installation your hot water costs will be reduced if we use Solar water heater.
ReplyDeleteWhen you installed solar energy system, it is not necessary to have separate solar hot water system.

ReplyDeleteI want to know the price details for installation. Is it possible for flat apartment in the balcony or need to have roof?
ReplyDeleteHi..
ReplyDelete1. To decide the price, we need to know your average monthly electricity units consumption.
2. Yes, we need a suitable area to install solar panels. Before decide where to install (balcony or roof) solar panels, need to decide number of panels required, based on your consumption.
3. Then decide a suitable location, where it could accommodate sufficient area to install panels.
4. One unique advantage of JLanka soar system is that you could install your panels in different places (balcony & roof), in different angles, without any additional cost.
In other traditional systems, you need a separate inverter to each angle, which increase your system cost, unnecessarily.
