You are ready to go to the sun but the forums and online reviews are broadcasting of contradictory speech While the number of products offered increases day by day. In this context, knowing which solar panel to choose is not always a kids game.
Study The question as a whole with logic and responsibility is to make an informed choice!
In this article, we help you fix:
- What technology is for you?
- How to make an optimized choice?
- What are the aesthetic possibilities?
Identify the different types of panels
When we talk about solar panel, we tend to confuse Different technologies Yet very distinct. Photovoltaic, thermal, hybrid, photovoltaic solar panel … who are they and how do they work?
The choice of technology
- The photovoltaic solar panel : produces electricity thanks to sunlight. Use this electricity of cars -consum (to power your electrical devices), sell it to the obligation to purchase EDF and/or keep it.
- The solar thermal panel : Produces heat to heat the sanitary water: water from the water heater and/or from those of your heat pump.
- The hybrid panel: It can be called «Aerovoltaic« Or «Thermovoltaïque«Because it combines photovoltaic and thermal technology. Therefore it produces electricity and heat directly to heat the water or to heat the accommodation.
Now that you know how to identify them, you can compare them!
Advantages and disadvantages
Whatever the chosen technology Produce or heat with natural energy. Also save money by consuming eco-sensitive e limit the exhausts to the environment.
If the intention is good, these technologies meet different needs. Therefore, their returns will vary according to your consumption habits, your position or the energy performance of your isolation.
Do not fall into the trap: Contrary to popular belief, the energy efficiency of the hybrid panels is lower than that of photovoltaic solar panels. In fact, photovoltaic technology sees its yields that affect heat and thermal technology historically memorizes hot air! The performance of one will therefore logically reduce the returns of the other.
Attentive to your isolation: Some heating systems are configured to heat the part until they reach a defined temperature. But if your accommodation is adequately isolated, the temperature does not stabilize or little and the heating system will be contained continuously. Which will no longer cause savings on the account, but an increase from it!
An assertive choice
Solar land, militant business, chooses to offer a photovoltaic solar panel exclusively.
For that?
- Because it is the type of panel Build better for any type of house.
- Because technology remains the most economically profitable (in particular thanks to the possibilities of sale of the storage surplus).
- Because the photovoltaic panel Recycles very easily.
- And finally, Because you are not a guinea pig ! We will not offer you new technologies until the day they will not know before. It is thanks to this commitment that our customers produce today more than they planned.
Define your needs
Very often, we are looking for what is «best» in terms of technology. But you will agree, acquiring a racing car that you would not be able to exploit would be equivalent to investing unreasonably and very frustratingly. So there is no need to look for the best panel of the year 2023: the best is actually the one that will be most suitable for your situation. (And not that of this person who advises you on a forum.)
Having correctly identified your technical needs, now you will be able to define the criteria of choice: performance, optimization or aesthetic.
Performance
Technologies are perfected and panels are increasingly powerful. I am 400 toilet on average to dateBut solar sunny we already offer 450 individual power toilet panels. The installations are also better and better optimized and allow you to reach Historical shows In terms of returns.
Do you want to wait a little more innovation? Too bad, you just be delaying your project. Solar is a profitable energy and accessible now: Your panels installed today will not be obsolete tomorrow! Your future solar installation will be productive for a long time, profitable and long -term recyclable. And this, whether you have installed it tomorrow or in a few years on condition that it is Reflection upstream and optimized.
THE reliability and the value for money They are as important as performance. Be aware of it, a reliable product is a «recognized» product that has proven and available in sufficient quantities. Furthermore, The after -SALE service must be insured, guaranteed products and that For a minimum period of 20 years. Moving on to an installer who is also aware of it is putting all the chances on his side!
We are demanding!
In Terre Solaire, we choose to install the QCells brand, owned by one of the leaders
Mondial: Hanwha. Of the 3.1 million modules installed, only 77 were the subject of a complaint. O 0.002 %, Reliability greater than a Swiss watch guaranteed more than 25 years! That is, to say!
Overall optimization
Remember that your panels produce electricity when they receive sunlight.
- These benefit from a Direct Sunshine, facing south ? Perfect ! The brightness is maximum, the production is optimal.
- Of shaded parts Involve a lower light in certain places? The installation of solar panels must be optimized. Your installer recommends you on different technologies such as those developed by Soladge. A multiple optimization system coupled with a specific inverter allows each panel to produce individually more or less than others without affecting the entire general production. In fact, we can use the maximum production of each panel here: no loss, no more savings!
There is no secret: photovoltaics is a job. Your friends are certainly very informed on the subject, but as regards their needs before yours. It is by contacting an installer with the experience and experience that you will guarantee long -term productivity. Only he can direct you to a photovoltaic installation that does not seem only efficient, but efficient depending on the situation.
Biface or single -fashion?
The double -sided capture the light from above and below. If technology is useless in the case of an installation of the house roof, the Biface, however, allows you to capture the reverberation in the case of a refuge with a translucent roof. This is the reason why it will be automatically offered on a solar refuge.
Monochristalline or polycrystalline solar panel?
These 2 types of photovoltaic cells have long been distinct and compared whose difference lies in the production process. If the polycrystalline was for a certain period presented as a photovoltaic innovation, its predecessor also benefited in most improvements. Therefore, the difference in surrender between monochristan panels and polycrystalline panels is so minimal that it is no longer a real choice.
Amorphous panel?
The construction of its silicon layer, unlike the others, is without predefined and thinner motif. Allows the panel to be more flexible. Due to its finesse, however, this type of solar panel is not the most recommended if you want to save energy. Fragile, low efficiency and fast obsolescence, so it has no interest in ending up on the roof.
Aesthetics
To respond to the plu (local urban plan) of your city, to combine your tastes or even make your neighbors jealous, different options are available in terms of aesthetics.
Support
You have the choice between different options:
- Overlapping : The current roof remains, a track is fixed on it and houses the solar panels. The installation is faster and cheap.
- Integrated into the frame : Your panels are positioned directly instead of the roof, totally or partially. The installation is more complex and requires a slightly higher implementation time.
- Solar shelter: In your garden, it serves both as a covered parking and storage space. It is its roof that will be completely made of a sun installation.
The colors
Know that a coloring on a sun panel would act on it as a filter and therefore would have had an impact on its surrender. This is the reason why, if the tests were carried out, they have not proved to be conclusive.
The photovoltaic tile, what to think?
If it seems to be an aesthetic alternative, the photovoltaic tile is not yet optimized and not very profitable.
Eco-responsibility
A sun panel is designed for Last in time. Regardless of the reference of the solar panel, the carbon imprint connected to its production is profitable between. Quickly, its imprint has also been positive thanks to the production of its natural and non -innovative energy that will replace fossil and nuclear energies.
At the end of life, The recycles of the solar panel Promote the circular economy. It is also not necessary to cross the oceans for this: the sunny land, in collaboration with the photovoltaic cycle, acts as a free collection point for your used panels that will be recycled in the Bouches-Du-RHône.
Start
Now you are ready to go to the sun, without hesitation.
Be accompanied from good interlocutors. A qualified and renowned company for its experience will be able to orient you transparently towards the best configuration for sun installation.
Generic approaches of the banomes and favor a personalized study : The profession of the engineer is not to sell. If you move to your home for a technical visit, it is to help you estimate the feasibility of your project.
For that? Because if putting the solar panels on the roof is an exceptional idea, having a personalized study conducted is equally legitimate. You could also design the most effective configuration whenever possible, don’t you think?
Finally, don’t worry! Regardless of your choice, your panel will always be the producer of the most reliable and responsible for energy: solar.
