SOLAR Energy
VERSATILE AND SMOOTH RUNNING SYSTEM
Benefit from an autonomous energy system which can be adapted to suit a variety of applications, thus allowing you to take full advantage of your electric appliances when an external AC-source is limited or unavailable. Your renewable solar energy system requires minimal maintenance and will entirely be tailored to your needs to ensure safe energy supply, consistent with your consumption. As your energy needs may increase in the future, you will simply have to adapt your installation to accommodate the additional requirements! Green energy offers a variety of opportunities easily accessible to all with an approach based on sustainable development and respect for the environment.
WHERE TO START?
You simply have to list all the electrical appliances, lighting or other equipment you intend to operate with your solar energy system, carefully noting their maximum current draw and usage time. Then visit your nearest Batteries Expert store and let us guide you through each step of your project.
Energy consumption calculation*:
Refrigerator 12V 25W/h (24 h = 600W)
40" LED flat screen TV 115W/h (3 h = 345W)
Blu-ray player 35W/h (3 h = 105W)
Laptop computer 200W/h (1 h = 200W)
5 LED lights 12 V 11W/h x 5 (4 h = 220W)
Microwave oven 1500W/h (15 min = 375W)
Daily average consumption: 1845 W
I go to my cottage 2 days/week
The solar output of your system is calculated using the average number of maximum sunlight hours per day.
A GREAT SOLUTION FOR:
STRATEGIC ENERGY PLANNING
Energy consumption patterns change and may vary with future possible add-ons of appliances and extended usage time of your actual system. Hence, the importance to plan ahead and anticipate unforeseen additional power consumption, enabling to easily alter your system accordingly, and therefore allowing you to take full advantage of maximum energy efficiency.
SOLAR OR WIND POWER?
Wind generators will derive greater efficiency from constant wind, such as open water wind. A wind generator is an ideal solution if your cottage is located on a flat and open area, free from surrounding obstacles to the wind flow. Have you ever thought about a hybrid generating station? At night your wind generator charges your batteries and on sunny days the solar panels combine their power!
INCREASING NEEDS = HIGHER VOLTAGE
Alternative energy give you the flexibility to build your system in 12, 24 or 48 volts. The size and voltage of your system can be increased or adjusted to suit your needs and environment. Visit your nearest Batteries Expert store and discover helpful options.
