Before any type of installation is carried out, you need to have an engineer take a load chart to calculate the power rating of all equipment you want to put on the inverter. This will help prevent a possible overload on the inverter or to determine the required size of inverter in terms of KVA.

The solar modules are designed to trap photovoltaic current from the sun and store in a battery bank in form of DC which the inverter now converts to AC form to power your appliances. The current from the solar modules cannot be used directly because the voltage is unstable and not sufficient enough to power AC rated equipment.

Yes, it has to be deep cycle batteries because regular batteries dissipates easily and faster and cannot handle the continual drainage and recharge that it has to go through when used for solar installation purposes.

Implementation of wind turbine is relative and can be used only in specific areas with the following attributes, so if your home or intended site does not have such characteristics, wind turbine cannot work.
1. Areas with very high altitude such as hill sides or plateaus
2. Areas with little or no wind breakers like trees or tall structures such as deserts or savannahs.
3. Areas around sea shores where the wind speed is good and very consistent.

Solar modules need up to 6 to 8hrs of sunlight daily to charge effectively, this seldom happens during the wet season because of the constant down pour and cloudy skies which leaves the modules with very little charging amps to charge the batteries. Since the batteries are not sufficiently charged they tend to run down faster thus making the solar system seems non-functional.

Yes Solar Energy is clean because there are no fumes from combustions or need for fossil fuel which gives out CO2 that contaminates the atmosphere. Solar Energy is a clean and renewable form of energy.

Yes you can if the system is functional that means it can also work for you provided there are no shadows or wind breakers around the intended installation site.

Solar Energy or Alternative power installations are very practical; always ask about previous installations and various capacities carried out by the engineers you intend to hire.
Don’t forget to ask for warranty terms covering your equipment in case you need to return or replace a non functional one.

Autonomy is the number of hours you have in your battery bank without the need to recharge. You can double your autonomy by reducing the load you have on your system by half, or by adding more batteries to your battery bank exponentially.

Yes you may choose to combine both power source with the aid of very reliable charge controllers and effective online UPS/Inverter system which are available in different capacities from Ideasdot Umart Technologies.
