It is almost impossible to imagine the full functioning of a private home without a constant source of electrical energy. Due to periodic outages and accidents in the network, it is worth thinking about alternatives. Modern solar power plants, after installation, require virtually no technical service. They can function independently for a long time. But, from the wide possibilities on the market, choosing the optimal design is not so easy.
Features of a network station
Solar panels can not only cover the need for electricity, but also serve as an additional source of income if the panel generates excess energy. Connected to an external network using a special inverter, all excess will flow into the general network. The state has a corresponding law for this. It is worth adding to other, no less important advantages of the network station:
- Lack of any serious maintenance.
- Produces more energy per year than the family in the house consumes.
- li>
- Automatically turns on as soon as energy is generated.
- You can vary the number of solar panels on the roof of the house.
- No need to register the equipment.
The only drawback of the system is the fact that in the event of a power outage in the network, the network power plant will be practically useless. In the realities of the modern world, it is better to choose a more reliable, alternative option. The configuration includes a battery power supply that supports the operation of the inverter, regardless of external circumstances.
Hybrid station
The configuration of a power station with solar panels largely duplicates the network equipment, but with some small features. The presence of a battery pack makes the installation truly autonomous. Even if the network loses energy for several days, with a reasonable load of various household appliances, the home power plant will keep them running for quite a long time:
- it is possible to connect to the “feed-in tariff”;
- increase the required number of solar panels;
- all settings in the system are saved during a power outage;
- rechargeable batteries last at least 10 years in buffer mode;
- especially high Efficiency during the summer period of operation.
Solar panels remain operational with the arrival of winter. They produce less energy, but at the same time, they can keep basic household appliances in working order. Individual autonomy can be increased by installing more capacious power supplies.
