Your Guide to How Residential Solar Systems Work

Are you contemplating the adoption of a residential solar system for your household? Solar panels present one of the most convenient and environmentally-friendly ways to reduce energy costs. However, with a significant upfront investment, it’s natural to seek a clear understanding of how they will power your property. At Suzlon Solar, we’re committed to answering all your questions and providing this fundamental guide:

Residential Solar Systems: Harnessing the Power of the Sun to Complement Your Mains Supply

In most cases, a residential solar system won’t completely replace your standard electricity supply. Instead, it complements it by harnessing energy from the sun and becoming a substantial contributor to your electricity needs.

For example, if your property is suitable for a 6 kW system, it operates as follows:

  • During sunny or overcast days, the sun’s rays penetrate the solar panels, generating DC electricity.
  • The DC electricity is then converted into usable AC power through the solar system’s inverter.
  • In the majority of situations, you’ll consume all the energy generated, with any excess feeding back into the main supply for use elsewhere.
  • If there’s an electricity deficit, your primary grid supply will cover the difference with standard electricity.

Living in sunnier regions enhances the probability of generating sufficient electricity to power your property. For instance, Hobart receives around five to six hours of sunshine per day, while Port Hedland benefits from nine to ten hours. Even if you reside in an area with fewer sunshine hours, you’ll still enjoy substantial energy savings.

Quality and Dependability of Residential Solar Energy

It’s crucial not to assume that renewable energy translates to lower quality. Once the panels convert UV rays into DC and the inverter transforms DC into AC power, the energy produced is in its most basic form. Its origin doesn’t affect its functionality, and it performs the same function as your standard mains supply. Residential solar systems have become so reliable that you can confidently install panels with up to 10.3 kW of power.

Low Maintenance for Residential Solar Systems

While residential solar systems may be considered a niche product compared to traditional energy sources, they demand minimal maintenance. At Suzlon Solar, we provide industry-leading warranties to ensure your peace of mind.
