What is Solar Energy for the Home?

House type solar energy is a system that converts solar energy into usable energy with roof-top panels at home. The most important parts used in solar energy systems to be installed for the home are:

solar panel
Inverter (inverter)
Battery
construction
connectors
 
Home Type Solar Energy Advantages

Solar energy is one of the renewable energy sources. We can list the advantages of using inexhaustible and clean solar energy at home:

Your electricity bill goes down
Environmentally friendly
The operating system is silent
Resistant to harsh weather conditions and long lasting
It does not require fuel to run, so it has no external dependency.
How to Calculate Solar Energy Prices for Home?
Solar system prices for the home basically vary based on 4 factors:

Number of solar panels to be calculated according to energy needs
Brand and quality of selected materials
Battery type
Inverter selection
Although the cost of solar controller and solar cable is low, they are among other factors that affect prices.

How to Calculate the Number of Solar Panels for a House?
When calculating the number of solar panels for the home, you should know your goal. If you are going to install solar energy to reduce your carbon footprint and produce your own energy at home, you can buy less solar panels than the energy you use. More solar panels are required in solar energy systems installed for investment. Before you can calculate how many solar panels you need, you need to know:

how much energy your home uses
Usable surface area of your roof
Climate and solar radiation in your area (radiation value)
The wattage and relative efficiency of the photovoltaic (PV) panels you are considering
NETmetering (netting) applicability
Solar Panel Calculation Formula
You can calculate how many solar panels you will need when installing your solar energy system for the home using the following formula:

Number of Panels = Daily Usage [W.h] / (Sun Time [h] x Panel Power [W])

Solar Panels of Different Powers
Household solar panels usually differ in 0.5 kW, 1000 W or 2-5 kW. But apart from these, it is also possible to produce special solar panels according to the needs. When choosing between solar panels of different power, location, budget, available space and electricity needs should be considered.

Panels with a power of 0.5 kW are mostly used as generators and used to power low electricity consuming appliances. This type of panels are preferred when suitable space is narrow or in moving systems.

1000 W panels are usually offered for low budget systems. These types of panels are recommended for more basic needs such as lighting systems, television, refrigerators and charging electronic appliances.

With 2-5 kW panels, it is possible to set up an energy system that is more flexible and suitable for personal needs. You can create the most suitable system for you with different panel combinations according to your electricity usage and suitable area.

Where Are Solar Panels Mounted in the House?
The most common model for solar panel mounting is the ceiling mount. But it can also be mounted on the ground or on a pole. The area where the solar panel will be installed is directly proportional to the power you need. For 1 kW of power, an average of 8 m2 for roof installations and approximately 10 m2 for field installations is required.

Is Solar Energy Profitable at Home?
The use of solar energy at home is not profitable in the short run, but is very profitable in the long run. The average depreciation period in household solar energy systems is 7 years. Solar panels generally have a 25-year performance guarantee. The average life of solar panels is 50-60 years.

Connecting the Solar System for the Home to the Grid
Grid-connected systems (on-grid) are systems where the energy system is connected to the national electricity grid and are subject to a permit process. Off grid systems are systems that are not connected to the national grid and can be considered as generators. In places with grid connection, you should use grid-connected systems to reduce costs.

Legal actions to be taken for grid-connected rooftop systems; It includes processes such as submitting technical documents to the distribution company, submitting various documents to the distribution company for project approval, and signing a connection agreement with the distribution company.

Solar Energy Installation in Apartments
For the installation of solar energy in the apartment, the approval of each apartment that has the right to use the roof is required. The installation power of the solar energy electricity generation facility to be installed on the roofs of the residences should not exceed 10 kW for each flat, and the generation and consumption facilities should be located at the same point.

You can apply for your building used for residential purposes with an identity document, application form, subscription documents, a notarized copy of the joint decision of the apartment management to use the roof, and a single line diagram obtained from the electrical engineer.

In balcony type solar energy installation, only one solar panel and one micro inverter are sufficient. Hand in hand with this less costly solar system
