Solar Systems Explained: Everything You Need to Know

Solar systems have revolutionised the way energy is harnessed, offering a sustainable and environmentally friendly alternative to traditional power sources. This alternative uses photovoltaic (PV) technology to convert sunlight into electricity, enabling you to reduce your reliance on non-renewable energy such as fossil fuels. By integrating advanced components such as solar panels, inverters, and energy storage solutions, these systems provide a reliable and efficient means of powering daily activities.

Beyond the Panels: Integrated Solar Systems

With more households, businesses, and industries applying sustainable practices in day-to-day operations, solar systems are gaining popularity. From energy output and panel longevity to basic aesthetics, your system must meet your power requirements and blend with the interior. As pioneers in affordable, innovative, renewable energy solutions, Wetility would like to introduce you to an integrated solution designed for modern living.

Efficiency in Energy Production

Solar panel efficiency determines how effectively the system converts the rays of the sun into electricity. Ideally, you need panels that generate more energy from the same amount of sunlight, making our panels a smart choice for households aiming to maximise power output, especially if roof space is limited. Premium panels can generate more electricity resulting in significant savings. They must also endure everything from scorching summers to torrential downpours without affecting their ability to harness energy.

The Foundation of Storage

Lithium-ion batteries are the foundation of modern energy storage, renowned for their high energy density and reliability which is why Wetility uses them in our renewable systems. These batteries can store and discharge energy efficiently making them the ideal component for solar-powered systems, enabling consistent power supply even during periods of low sunlight. With a longer lifespan, faster charging capabilities, and lower self-discharge rates compared to traditional counterparts, lithium-ion batteries represent a significant advancement in energy storage innovation.

Ensuring Greater Power Security

Hybrid inverters are state-of-the-art technology that takes energy management to a new level as they are designed to integrate multiple power sources. Unlike traditional inverters that solely convert direct current from solar panels to useable alternating current, hybrid inverters can also manage energy storage systems, such as lithium-ion batteries. This dual functionality allows these inverters to optimise your energy usage by storing excess solar power for later use, and drawing from the grid when necessary.

Supporting Sustainability Through Innovation

A truly effective solar system incorporates advanced hybrid inverters, powerful energy storage in the form of lithium-ion batteries, and intelligent control systems allowing you to get the most from your harnessed energy. At Wetility, we simplify adapting to solar with our intelligent and innovative technology. From our bespoke rooftop PV installations to our Wetility app, we ensure that your energy needs meet your modern lifestyle. The seamless switching between grid and backup power is complemented by our digital platform giving you real-time energy monitoring, instant alerts, and complete control over your system.
