High Energy Output from Solar PV Systems by Premier Solar

Want the Highest Energy Output From Your Solar PV System?

Besides the certified solar PV panels there are many other components that must also be taken into consideration if it's important to you to get a high energy output from your new solar system. This is because the overall electricity output that you gain into your meter box does not rely on the panels alone, but rather on all of the components & how well they are functioning together, right down to the wiring that transports the electricity.

Equally important as the PV panels used is the quality of the Inverter you choose, as they act like your personal mini transformer to convert the DC (Direct Current) electricity the panels produce into the useful AC form which will power all your household appliances.

Often problems with inefficiency & the system not producing its maximum possible output are due to your inverters and not the solar panels themselves... An effective high quality inverter is necessary to minimise every watt of energy lost during the conversion. You definitely get what you pay for, so buying a cheap inverter is nearly always false economy in the long run.

The most important thing to know when you are looking to make the switch to solar power is that it is not just the Kilowatts of your new system that will determine its power output; a well-designed 1.5 kilowatt system with all the right components can and will perform better than a standard 2 KW system with cheap or poorly compatible components! So the optimal system design & correct installation is crucial, and requires technical expertise from solar PV specialists.

Important Reminders

- If the inverter feeds electricity that is not very compatible to what your home requires then a lot of energy that your panels produce will be wasted.

- Be sure to only purchase an inverter that passes all Australian standards (details of these can be found on the Clean Energy Council of Australia website. There are currently 447 listings though and various brands will perform differently according to their quality. For proven high performance you can't go past long established major manufacturers like SMA, Conergy, Latronics, Juli and Aurora Power One. These are all brands that we sell and recommend at Premier Solar.

- Have your system checked regularly and keep every component, especially the panels and inverters, clean so that they can operate optimally.
