Turnkey Solar Engineering & Construction
In order to solve a problem, one needs to understand the problem.
It is NOT possible to simply look at an electricity utility bill and then do a sensible design. This simplistic approach makes expensive assumptions based on the ratio between day-time and night-time energy demands.
Right Size, Right Price - Safe and Compliant
At PolyMath Solar we complete a full analysis of the customer's energy and power demands, and consult with the customer to understand expectastions and the available budget. Only once we have the 3 design parameters firmly defined, do we complete a design to meet these requirments. The 3 primary design decisions are:
- DaytimeEnergy & Energy Storage.Energy used during theday needs to be harvested from the sun, to enjoy the optimum solar benefit - direct consumption. Then also, energy demand during utility electricity grid failure(depends on whichitems need to be on backup, and for how long) definethe battery capacity.
- Solar Panel Quantity. A balancedsolar solution is when the solar panels can supply both the daytime- and stored energy requirement. This Grid Independence(for the items connectedto the backup solution) is the most sensible-and economical solution. The sum of the battery capacity and the day-time consumption defines the amount of energy that needs to be harvested from the sun, i.e. the size of the PV Generator. This is the quantity of the solar panels that will be required.
- Inverter Power. The sum of the power consumed by all the connected applicances define the size of the inverter. This is a very important calculation to make, as overloading the inverter will not only leave you in the dark, but it will most likely damage the inverter.
