SOLAR CHECK: IS YOUR SYSTEM DUE FOR A MAINTENANCE?

SOLAR CHECK: IS YOUR SYSTEM DUE FOR A MAINTENANCE?

One of the most pleasing benefits of solar energy systems is that they require less maintenance compared to other renewable energy sources. They do not have any moving parts and can be completely independent to function on their own. However, as time flies, you also need to be aware on whether your solar is functioning to its maximum capacity. One way to ensure this is to schedule your solar power system for routine inspection and maintenance at least once a year.

Your solar system will send you signals

Your solar system will send you signals

Noticed an increase in your monthly electric bill even though you are using the same daytime appliances ever since? You may want to check if your solar panels have accumulated dirt over time. There are a lot of environmental and external factors that may affect a PV system’s performance such as dust accumulation, soiling, or bird deposits that we cannot really avoid. Prolonged dirt accumulation, rain, and the Philippines’ hot and humid weather may cause cementing. These particles will eventually cause performance loss due to shading, or permanent damages such as scratches and deterioration to solar panels in the long run.

You may also need to check if your inverters are working properly as intended by checking their built-in screens or through online monitoring. Online monitoring can give you a real-time preview and information regarding your system and its harvest. Some can even detect a solar panel that is not working properly which can save a lot of time in identifying and resolving the problem of your system.

Maintaining your solar energy system

Maintaining your solar energy system

Cleaning your solar panels is very easy and anyone can do it as long as you observe the proper safety procedures. With soap and running water, you can easily remove any accumulated dirt from the surface. Avoid using harsh cleaners and pointed objects to remove debris to avoid permanent damages. Some hardened particles are more difficult to remove so observe extreme caution when dealing with these kinds of residues.

Aside from your solar panels, you might also want to check your solar inverters for any loose screws or terminals, and in some cases, cable or material damages caused by rodents eating wires. Keeping your system in check and in the right working condition is very important if we want to continuously reap the maximum benefits of solar energy.

Solaric offers an Annual Cleaning and Maintenance Service. This is aside from the usual checking of your online monitoring system to view your solar production and performance. You may get in touch with us if you have any concerns regarding your system’s performance or any help in cleaning and maintenance of your PV system.

CAN SOLAR RUN MY AIRCON?

CAN SOLAR RUN MY AIRCON?

For some reason, for us Pinoys, there is always some sort of guilt associated with turning on the aircon – because it contradicts the mindset of “making tipid”. To this day, this question remains to be one of the most popular about solar: can solar run my aircon?

The answer is yes!

Solar can definitely handle and power your air-conditioning units. With a grid tie system, solar will serve as the first priority power that will supply the needed electricity of your household during daytime, which is perfect when the sun is shining at its peak and the temperature is hotter, and you simply want to enjoy a well-cooled fully air-conditioned room while working, attending online classes or simply binge watching your favorite Netflix shows.

How much will it cost me?

Depending on the horsepower of your aircon, a 1.8kWp grid tie system can cover running a 1.5hp aircon during the daytime. The all-in total cost for a Solaric 1.8kWp grid tie system is Php138,000. With that capacity of a solar power system, daytime lights and appliances such as refrigerator, electric fan, computer, and gadgets can run on solar. Of course, for every additional air-conditioning unit and higher total of horsepower, you will be needing a bigger solar energy system to cover all your daytime consumption.

For example, a household with a total of 4hp air-conditioning units will need a 5.4kWp which costs around Php 273,000.

Prices quoted in this article are for GI sheet rooftops and located within Metro Manila. Solaric grid tie systems are guaranteed to last for 25 years and more, making it a win-win investment in terms of savings and peace of mind.

With a lot of us staying at home for work and online classes, you will need a long-guaranteed solution to provide you the financial and energy stability you deserve. Don’t you want to chill and relax with the AC on full blast, yet be free from bill shock?

Score big this October!

Because we want to put a smile on your face even during the rainy season, we are bringing the 88K-all in as part of Solaric’s Great October sale! Power up 1.5hp aircon, together with the other common appliances during daytime with the 1.8kWp grid tie system. The 88K-all in promo includes turnkey cost with design, engineering, supply, installation, and energization.

ARE YOU SUMMER-READY THIS 2021?

ARE YOU SUMMER-READY THIS 2021?

Summer is just around the corner and the temperature keeps on getting warmer day by day, until it’s almost impossible to deal with the summer heat without aircon. The power demand and increase in electric bills are bound to happen – but there are still a few ways to alleviate this future distress and enjoy a “guilt-free AC” summer. That decision is up to you, when you are ready to harness the power of solar.

Solar is the new normal in 2021

Being a tropical country, the Philippines is blessed to have the sun’s abundant energy all year round but at the same time, we face tremendous heat especially during the summer months. Others might see it as a hassle but for renewable energy advocates and Solaric, this is just the perfect reason why Solar is a good alternative choice for energy.

The COVID-19 pandemic brought us the new normal and most of us up to now are still staying indoors, working and studying at home, which can inevitably cause your electric bills to go higher than what you’re accustomed to. Hence, last year’s “bill shock”. Most of us are not ready for that but for Solaristas who invested earlier on in the game and came prepared, they experienced the benefits of their wisest long-term investment. Their residential rooftops have become their own power plants and they can chill while enjoying their ACs on full blast.

Lowering your bills through Solar

We all know that everyone wants to enjoy guilt-free AC but we are always hesitant with the price tag. After all, the aircon uses a lot of electricity and eventually, we’ve got to pay for that electric bill. With solar, you get to worry less as you become your own power producer and generate your own electricity to lower your electric bills. A grid tie solar system is connected both on your utility grid and solar panels. It uses solar energy as the first priority power to be used to cover your daytime consumption, enabling you to cut down the cost of your utility bills.

A typical grid tie solar system can last for more than 25 years and a single solar panel can slash your electric bill to 400 pesos or more! Through the “Net Metering” program, the excess power that your system generates can be converted into credits which can be used to offset your night time and weekend energy usage.

What happens when you fill your entire roof up with solar panels? The result is goodbye electric bill and hello guilt- free AC! Now you’re ready to harness the power of solar!

PHILIPPINES: A SOLAR GOLDMINE

Being a tropical country, the Philippines is blessed to have the sun’s energy all year round. This abundance makes our country the perfect goldmine to harvest this clean, renewable and sustainable energy.

The Renewable Energy Act of 2008 or RA 9513 aims to accelerate the development of renewable energy resources such as solar to achieve energy self-reliance and reduce the country’s dependence on fossil fuels. It also aims to promote the efficient and cost-effective commercial application of renewable energy.

 

Solar energy in the Philippines

A hand holding a globe

With the worldwide spread of awareness about climate change and search for clean and renewable energy alternatives, one cannot neglect the potential of solar here in the Philippines. Our country sits in the equatorial region where there is a higher amount of the sun’s energy that, when taken advantage of, can reap enormous benefits such as solar power that can be harvested using solar panels.

 

Why do people go solar?

The number of homeowners and business owners who opt to use solar energy has exponentially increased. This may be because of various reasons. Based on a recent survey conducted by the Solaric Digital Squad on the clients of Solaric Corp., the top reason why they’ve chosen to go solar was to reduce their utility expenses. The cost of electricity in the Philippines is very high. Additionally, the thin supply of power to the grid results in frequent brownouts during peak summer months. Other reasons cited included reducing their carbon footprint and helping protect the environment.

The ideal setup

A compass facing true south

For a tropical country like the Philippines, it is advisable to face the solar modules in the south. Facing it in the true south will generate the highest yield or harvest and the tilt angle can be between 10 to 40 degrees to match the local settings. Remember that the outcome and results may vary as it is a case to case basis. Installing the same size and system in different locations would still give you different output or yield.
