Solar PV and your home
|
Everyone consumes energy, but sometimes it is hard to know just how much power is really being used in the home. Domestic electrical usage is measured in kilowatt hours (kWh) and the best way to understand what this means is to look at what a kWh does in everyday life. A kWh of electricity can provide:
• 1200 electric shaves
• Drying your hair 15 times
• Microwaving 20 meals
• 4 evenings of light with 60W incandescent lamps
An average 3-bed house uses between 9-10kWh per day*. To put this into perspective, a 1.80kW Grant Solar PV System (approximately 10 panels) should produce around 1,693kWh of electricity per annum.
The Grant Solar PV panels (modules) are distinguished by monocrystalline solar cells. The modules have two connection boxes on the back of each module. A bypass diode bridge for each connection box prevents the individual solar cells from overheating (hot spot effect). This ensures the reliable operation of the collectors and inverter. The collector frame is made from torsion-proof, anodised aluminium and meets the highest requirements in terms of stability and corrosion resistance.
