Solar Energy and Electricity Bills

Solar Power Plants in Kochi

Installing solar panels on your roof allows you to generate your own electricity and pay less to your utility. Your electricity costs after solar will depend on how much electricity your solar panels generate, how much electricity you use, and how much your utility charges for electricity. It is this very reduction in costs that ultimately pay for an investment in solar power and helps you to experience a net benefit in the future. 

The amount of power you create with solar panels is really dependent on two things: the amount of sunlight in your area and the size of your solar system. The amount of sunlight depends upon the location and surroundings. The size of your solar array determines how much electricity that sunshine will actually make. A typical installation provides at least half of a customer’s electrical needs, but many households are able to install even larger systems. By using solar panels we can assure you that the power you will create is the best possible for your budget and available space.
The first step to understanding how much solar can save you is to calculate how much you are currently spending on electricity every year. Then, you have to consider the volatile nature of electricity prices and determine what utility rates will be in years to come. When you compare the cost of utility electricity with home solar, you should keep in mind that you can expect electricity rates to increase annually. 

If you meet half your electrical needs, then take a look at your typical utility bill and you will instantly see the monetary advantage to installing a solar electrical system. These savings will continue as long as the panels are working efficiently – guaranteed to be 25 years!


Off-grid Solar panel system with battery backup can reduce the electricity bills. This scenario and basic principle do not change if your solar system uses a string inverter or a micro inverter set up. In short, a well designed solar system will reduce your electricity bills, but a zero bill now that there is no more generous "premium" feed-in tariff for new systems - is very rare. Zero bills require an off-grid system with batteries or a very large solar system on your home, preferably with storage batteries.
The installation of batteries to a Solar System will enable power from the system to be stored and used at night or during high demand periods. This increases the ability to reduce electricity bills to zero. However, the cost of batteries, although it has reduced, is still relatively expensive. So for most situations, these are not yet financially beneficial. With advances in technology and increases in economies of scale as more batteries are purchased, pricing of batteries will reduce over the next couple of years and will become a more viable alternative to add to Solar System.

    This program allows residents to invest in this green energy source by purchasing shares of electricity
    that are generated by their own rooftop panels, or through panels installation on the roof of the XL Center.

    We are living in a world where the sun is the most important resource for all life on
    best Solar Panels in Hartford CT
    are one of the best ways to harness this natural power and turn it into clean energy
    that can be used for heating, lighting, or generating electricity. They are also beneficial because
    they don't emit any harmful gasses or create any noise pollution

Advantages of Using Solar Power in Petrol Pumps

India has over 50,000 petrol pumps catering to the demand of the country. And do you know how much electricity a petrol pump needs every day? It requires more than 5 KW of electricity every day for their operations. This amounts to a total capacity of over 1,440 KW of power required for a year per petrol station. Running your petrol pump on electricity is possible in the big and medium cities but the petrol pumps, especially in rural India, derive power from diesel generators sets as they do not have a continuous power supply or do not have power lines.  The operation cost for running the pumps on diesel generators sets is very high. So using solar panels is more advantageous than a diesel generator. Use of solar energy in petrol pumps has proven to offer reliable operations of dispensing units even in load shedding hours. The dispensing units last long as the solar system provides superior power quality. Advantages: Can be used on pre-installed inverters Economic, ...

Solar Energy in Transportation

As we all know solar energy is obtained from the sun’s radiation and it can be converted into electricity or heat. It is freely available and thanks to advances in technology, we can now harness even more of the solar energy that is continuously available to us. Solar energy is not only sustainable, it is renewable and this means that we will never run out of it. It is about as natural a source of power as it is possible to generate electricity. The creation of solar energy requires little maintenance. Once the solar panels have been installed and are working at maximum efficiency there is only a small amount of maintenance required each year to ensure they are in working order. They are a silent producer of energy. There is absolutely no noise made from photovoltaic panels as they convert sunlight into usable electricity. There are continual advancements in solar panel technolog y which are increasing the efficiency and lowering the cost of production, thus making it, even m...

SOLAR PV COOK STOVES FOR CLEAN ENERGY COOKING

Globally, 2.8 billion people lack access to clean cooking facilities. By 2030, 2.3 billion people will still lack access to clean cooking facilities. In India, an estimated 780 million people rely on biomass for cooking., (almost 60% of households still cook with biomass). The country with the largest population without clean cooking access, Indian government promotion of LPG and improved biomass cookstoves means that over 300 million people gain access to clean cooking facilities by 2030, but more than one person in three remains without. In contrast with the huge strides made in electricity access in India, the number of people without clean cooking access over the last 15 years has only increased by 80 million. Women spend on average 1.4 hours a day collecting fuelwood and four hours for cooking and also suffer the most from household air pollution: they must be at the heart of finding solutions. An estimated 2.8 million people die every year from diseases linked to indoor air...
