With the increasing demand for clean energy, photovoltaic panels are an optimal choice for reducing your carbon footprint and optimizing energy consumption. Whether you are a business or a home user, we invite you to discover the benefits of using solar energy.

Benefits of Photovoltaic Panels

Reducing Energy Costs

Significantly reduce monthly electricity costs by capturing solar energy and converting it into usable electricity.

Solar energy is an inexhaustible and clean source of energy with no CO2 or other harmful emissions. Using photovoltaic panels contributes directly to protecting the environment.

With photovoltaic panels, users can become energy independent, reducing their dependence on traditional suppliers and fluctuating energy prices.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a photovoltaic panel last?

Photovoltaic panels generally have a lifetime of 25-30 years. However, most panels continue to operate beyond this period, but with a slight decrease in energy conversion efficiency.

What happens if the PV panel is exposed to partial shading?

Partial shading reduces the overall performance of the panel and can cause significant power loss if the panel does not have integrated bypass diodes. We recommend using microinverters or power optimizers to minimize the effects of shading.

What is energy storage and how does it work?

Energy storage systems, such as batteries, are used to store excess energy produced by photovoltaic panels during the day. This energy can be used later when consumption is high or during the night, contributing to energy independence.

What is the difference between monocrystalline and polycrystalline panels?

Monocrystalline panels: Offer higher efficiency and are made from a single silicon crystal. They are ideal for confined spaces.

Polycrystalline panels: More affordable, they are made of multiple silicon crystals. They are less efficient than monocrystalline, but are suitable for larger spaces.

What if the PV panel is damaged or cracked?

A damaged or cracked panel can reduce system performance and pose safety risks. In such cases, it is recommended to replace the panel as soon as possible to ensure optimal operation of the entire system.

Do photovoltaic panels require maintenance?

Photovoltaic panels require minimal maintenance, consisting mainly of regular cleaning of the surface to remove dust, dirt and other debris that could reduce solar energy capture. An annual check of the connections and supporting structure is recommended.

How can I monitor PV system performance?

Many modern PV panel systems include monitoring functions via mobile apps or online platforms. These allow real-time tracking of energy production, individual panel performance and consumption.

Can I use photovoltaic panels to fully power a home?

Yes, a photovoltaic system can be configured to completely power a home, but the size of the system needs to be adapted to the energy consumption and the availability of space for the panels. Energy storage solutions can help maximize the use of solar energy.

What is the efficiency of a photovoltaic module?

The efficiency of a PV module indicates the percentage of captured solar energy that is converted into usable electricity. A module with an efficiency of 20% will convert 20% of the sunlight reaching its surface into electricity.

How much space is needed for a photovoltaic system?

The space required depends on the desired capacity and the type of panels. On average, a photovoltaic panel needs about 1.7 m² for every 300W of installed power. A typical 3kW system would require about 17-20 m² of available roof space.

What types of guarantees are available for photovoltaic panels?

Photovoltaic panels usually come with two types of warranty:

Product warranty: Usually 10-15 years, covering manufacturing defects.

Performance guarantee: 25-30 years, guaranteeing a minimum level of performance (e.g. 80-90% of original capacity).
