How to install solar panels

In order to generate electricity for both commercial and home use, solar panels are used. For getting maximum possible sunlight and generate maximum electricity from the system, photovoltaic panels are installed on the roof top in both cases. Following steps are followed in the installation process:First Step: Installing Mounting Structures of Solar PanelsIn the first step, the mounts are required to be fixed for supporting the solar panels. It can be Roof-ground mounts or flush mounts which dependent on the requirement. This base structure provides support and strength.  Precaution is taken on direction in which the PV panels (mono crystalline or poly crystalline) will be installed. The best direction to face solar panels is south for countries in the Northern Hemisphere because it gets maximum sunlight. East and West directions will also do. On the other hand, the best direction is north for countries in the Southern Hemisphere. The mounting structure needs to be slightly tilted. Angle of the tilt depends on the latitude of the location. Typically, it is in between 18 to 36 Degree. In order to increase the conversion efficiency, a solar tracker can be used. Second Step: Solar Panels Installation In the second step, solar panels are required to be fixed with mounting structures. By tightening nuts and bolts, the installation process can be done. Precaution is taken to secure the whole structure appropriately so that it is robust and persists extended. Third Step: Electrical Wiring In the third step, electrical wiring is done. Universal Connectors such as MC4 are used during wiring as these types of connectors can be connected with all type of solar panels. These panels must be electrically connected with each other in following series:Series Connection: In this type of connection, the Positive (+) Wire is of one PV module is connected to the Negative (–) Wire of another module. This type of wiring increases the voltage match with the battery bank.Parallel Connection: In this type of connection, Positive (+) to Positive (+) and Negative (–) to Negative (–) connection is done. In this type, wiring voltage of each panel remains same.Fourth Step: Connecting the System to PV InverterIn the fourth step, the system is required to be connected to a PV inverter. The Positive wire from the solar panel is connected to the Positive terminal of the inverter and the Negative wire is connected to the Negative terminal of the inverter. In order to generate electricity, the PV inverter is then connected to the Solar Battery and Grid input. Fifth Step: Connecting PV Inverter and Solar BatteryIn the fifth step, the PV inverter and the solar battery are required to be connected. The positive terminal of the battery is connected with the positive terminal of the inverter and negative to negative. In order to store electricity backup, battery is required in off grid solar system.Sixth Step: Connect Solar Inverter to the Grid In the sixth step, the inverter is required to be connected to the grid. For creating this connection, a normal plug is used to connect to the main power switch board. For supplying electricity to the home, an output wire is connected with electric board. Seventh Step: Starting PV Inverter After completing all the electrical wiring and connections, the PV inverter is required to be switched ON the Main Switch of the Home. Digital display of the PV inverter shows you stats regarding generation and usage of solar unit.

British Gas FIT Payment Installation ID Problems

Gambar
 I've had my solar panels for 10 years this year and over that time registered the generation meter readings every 3 months or so to get the FIT (Feed in Tariff) payments from British Gas. I've come to do the same today and the British Gas website is refusing to accept the installation ID for my system. The number I have had since the system was fitted starts 95000 and is 12 digits long yet the BG FIT payment screen insists that the ID must begin with a 5 and be 10 digits long. It would appear that British Gas have made some amendments to their FIT payment screens but not actually checked whether they work. Update - on checking elsewhere it appears that BG have generated new Installation IDs but failed to actually inform any of the solar owners what the new numbers are or even to put a message on their website to let people know that it has changed. Quite incredibly the help icon next to the error that states the installation ID must be 10 characters actually shows a 12 digit n

Saving Money with LED Bulbs and Solar Panels

Even before we had solar panels installed I was starting to be aware of power consumption and trying to reduce the electricity we used by switching to low energy light bulbs. For most bulbs in the house we replaced the standard bulbs with CFL low energy versions so 100W bulbs became 20W CFL. After having the solar panels fitted and monitoring our electricity usage I tackled some of the other big guzzlers by replacing kitchen GU10 50W bulbs with LED versions at 5W. Saving Money with LED Bulbs to replace CFL Until this week I wasn't aware how LED technology had moved on and that LED versions of standard bayonet and screw light bulb fittings were now available at very low prices. I took the plunge and bought a few 5W LED bulbs from Screwfix. I've beenvery impressed with the brightness and how they instantly come on compared to CFL ones and the power consumption is far better too. In the hallway it was a 20W CFL replacing a 100W standard bulb. That's now been changed to a 5.8W
