Solar electric systems are considered one of the most important sources of electricity for the 21st century. These systems can easily be placed in urban areas and attractively integrated into buildings.
They are silent, produce no emissions, have no moving parts and require no fuel other than sunlight. They are modular, relatively easy to transport and install, and have very low maintenance requirements. Furthermore, with a grid connected solar electric system, it is not necessary to depend just on solar power. If the power generated by the solar panels were not enough to cover all you needs, you can obtain the rest from the electric utility. |

Solar PV panels typically have a manufacturer’s warranty that guarantees power production for 20 years. However, many experts expect PV panels to work well for 30 years or longer. Unlike every other method of generating electricity, solar power systems have no moving parts. This translates into both, long life and very low system maintenance. |

How it works:
Solar panels collect the sun’s energy and convert it into direct current (DC) electricity. A solar inverter converts the DC electricity from the panels into the type of electricity we use at home: alternating current (AC). This electricity can be directly used for any application and will cost you nothing. If not enough power is generated by the panels, the solar inverter is capable of extracting additional power from the grid. |

| This way you can progressively become more independent from conventional energy by expanding your solar installation when convenient. The use of a battery pack will allow you to create an uninterrupted power supply system (UPS). |
