HOW MANY SOLAR PANELS DO I NEED FOR HOUSE TO GENERATE SOLAR ENERGY

One of the first things to take into account in an installation of solar panels for self-consumption is the design and dimension of the installation. Panel installers analyze different aspects to determine the number of solar energy panels needed and the best way to install solar energy , however, many people like to know what the design and calculation process of one of these self-consumption installations is like. In this blog we will tell you how they design this type of installation either for homes or businesses.

Factors to take into account when calculating the photovoltaic installation

We will begin with the sizing and calculation of the installation of photovoltaic solar energy . What we must take into account at the beginning is the space we have available for the solar panels , it can be on the roof or on the ground, and then we must consider the annual electricity consumption of the home or business . Other things to think about are the type of inverters and panels that we will install, the added structures , the orientation and the shadows.

How many solar panels do I need for a house?

Many users choose to install the plates on the ceiling. If your intention is this, the space available on your roof will be decisive to calculate the maximum number of panels that can be installed . Although it is true that the size of the panels does not have a standard measurement, most manufacturers do not vary their measurements much.

The space on your roof can be limited by chimneys, ventilation, elevator, etc. Since they occupy a space that can make it difficult or prevent the installation from reaching 100% of your annual electricity consumption. The installer will be in charge of identifying the obstacles that cannot be overcome and orienting you on which ones you can put supports for the plates , always complying with current regulations.

In the event that your roof does not have enough space for the installation of solar panels , the most sensible thing would be to opt for more efficient panels , which will generate more energy per square meter as opposed to the standard ones. They tend to have a higher cost, but are amortized in the long term with the savings they generate in the electricity bill . In any case, the installer will offer you different options to guarantee that your house is sufficiently supplied and in the most efficient way. At Auto solar energy we have professional technicians who will carry out the sizing and calculate the number of solar panels needed.

Electricity consumptions

To make the most of your solar panel installation, it must be designed in such a way that it covers 100% of the annual electricity bill, or if not, to cover 100% of your consumption during daylight hours. This varies depending on the type of photovoltaic installations you want to have, if you want to isolate yourself from the grid, put batteries or remain connected to it. For this reason the technicians will need bills , thus being able to calculate how much energy you will need to cover all your energy costs. They will also calculate the percentage of savings that you will get on your bill through the installation of solar panels .

There are cases in which it is necessary to make a calculation of an isolated photovoltaic installation , either for a house isolated from the network or for a new construction, in these cases the consumption must be estimated based on the type of lighting appliances, etc. installed in the home or premises. If it is an installation disconnected from the grid, the cost of the necessary batteries should also be included in the calculation .

Optimal installation size will vary based on geographic location and type of roof . The photovoltaic panels generate electricity through the light they receive from the solar energy, therefore, with a roof oriented south the panels generate more electricity than panels that are oriented to the north or are very shaded . Orientation is a highly important factor in the calculation of the photovoltaic installation .

How do shadows affect the installation of solar panels?

It is very normal for roofs to be shaded either by nearby buildings or trees or simply chimneys. The installer may decide not to put the panels in the shaded areas, thus maximizing the performance of the system or to recommend specific equipment for these shading cases. Microinverters or power optimizers are used to limit the effect of shading on overall performance.

There are other circumstances, such as the resistance or the general condition of the roof, the electrical system or the eventual shadows that may make it necessary for an engineer to visit your home or premises to carry out the relevant study so that the installation of the solar energy is the correct one. optimum. All these factors are taken into account when designing a photovoltaic installation and all of them must be taken into account for its operation.

What kind of paint should I use for metal roof?

Metal roofs grown rapidly in recent years for both commercial and residential properties. Given the durability and longevity that metal roofs offer over other roofing materials, it is easy to see why so many homeowners are not opting for this material. While metal roofs don't require a lot of maintenance, if you want to paint your roof, it's important to understand a little about the proper type of paint to use. Choose the type of paint When choosing the type of paint to use on a metal roof , it is important to understand that not just any type of paint is appropriate. The roof of your home or commercial property withstands a big amount of wear and tear, including ultraviolet light. As a result, it can become vulnerable to fading and rusting over time. The right type of roof paint will ensure that your roof looks beautiful for a long time. Choosing paint for a metal roof Metal roofs often require paint that offers a high degree of elasticity. This is because metal roofs

THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT WINE TOURS

What is more pointless than cursory sightseeing tourism? I am sure that it will be a hundred times more interesting to participate in a local cycling marathon or in a competition for manually corking bottles in some château d'Arsac than dragging a guide  Wine Tours around the back streets of a church where in such and such a shaggy year Eleanor of Aquitaine became engaged to Louis ... uh ... VII, thanks to Wikipedia. This article is written for independent travelers who are ready to learn the hard way what wine tourism is in France , namely in Bordeaux . No matter how alternative you are,  Wine Tours  in Bordeaux without exploring the famous chateau is somehow silly. To visit the place and not see the main thing ... well, this is for very large originals. Moreover, visiting almost any of the most famous Bordeaux chateau in the world is not at all difficult. Chateau tours are organized in Bordeaux just around every corner. To the great chateau - in an organized manner Keep in mind

The importance of the sommelier in the service of a good wine

By going to a good restaurant, any of us expects to be treated, in addition to respect, with professionalism. If in addition to like eating we like wine a lot, this aspect becomes more important. In the treatment of professionalism in wine matters, the person in charge is known as a sommelier, hired by the restaurant, who will be in charge of explaining every detail in the questions that may arise and the person in charge of advising on aspects that have to do with pairing. Who is the sommelier? Although there is popularly some confusion between the role of the sommelier and that of the winemaker, they really are very different jobs. The sommelier can be said to be that wine expert who works in restaurants or wineries facing the public, advising clients on all aspects that have to do with wine and its pairing, it could be said that it is the union between the large producers and final consumers, it is the decisive element for the consumer to take one or the other wine. In addition
