PV Solar Solutions:
Small Scale And Domestic Applications
SilexSolar panels are ideal photovoltaic
(PV) power generators suitable for integration into residential solar home kits, and other small to medium scale applications.
SilexSolar's attractive (solar) conversion efficiency and its high power generation per square area means it requires less deployment space, less and or simpler Balance of Systems, thus minimising overall systems cost.
- SilexSolar panels come with a comprehensive 25 year power warranty, thus maximising consumer assurance.
- SilexSolar panels are supplied with "quick-connect leads" enabling simple, safe and fast electrical interconnection, thus enhancing installer safety, minimising installation time and cost.
- SilexSolar panels come with pre-drilled aluminium frames making them suitable for most common mounting surfaces such as roofs and dedicated panel mounting structures.
- SilexSolar panels are configured as a 72 cell string formation with a 24 VDC nominal voltage. SilexSolar panels can therefore be connected for "stand-alone PV applications", i.e. the system has its own battery energy storage. In this instance, panels are usually connected in multiples of nominal 24VDC, i.e. 24, 48 etc. The SilexSolar panel can also be readily used with "On-Grid" applications, i.e. where there is no battery storage. In these applications, solar panels are strung in series in order to match as closely as possible the optimum DC voltage rating set by the system inverter.
Potential Benefits for the PV Home Owner:
Government Incentives
SilexSolar will assist home owners to understand and help them maximise the financial benefits that may arise from Government incentives such as rebates, tax credits, and even a Feed-In tariff be it Gross or Net.
Renewable Energy Credits (RECs)
In certain circumstances, the PV home owner can be rewarded through the sale of emission off-sets and/or Renewable Energy Credits (RECs).
Peak Electricity Cost Savings and Feed In Tariffs
Electricity produced by the home owner's PV system will reduce demand from the electricity grid and save money, particularly during peak daytime and summertime load periods, which coincidently matches the peak generation interval of PV. The peak electricity tariffs may vary significantly to the off-peak rate, and therefore reducing peak consumption from the grid in this period is highly beneficial. In addition to "peak-shaving", PV generated electricity may generate substantial income for the home owner by way of a generous Feed-In-Tariff.
Refer to your electricity provider for specific Feed In Tariff details that may apply to your situation.
For NSW residents a Gross Feed-In-Tariff may apply, view the official announcement >more
Hedge Value
Energy prices are volatile and there is the inevitable prospect of much higher electricity prices. SilexSolar panels will help cushion these effects, especially the anticipated electricity price hikes at peak times.
Independence and Security
PV is a sustainable resource, and hence having a proportion of your energy needs met this way, will mitigate your dependence on other energy sources.
