An electricity system audit is a techno-economic review of generation and power consumption systems to determine the potential for energy cost savings and to determine whether it is possible and reasonable to expand an existing photovoltaic installation. Is expansion possible? If you already have solar panels, you have probably already reduced your electricity bills. There comes a time when you want to add more energy to your grid....

We are living in times when obtaining energy from fossil fuels is becoming unjustifiable, not only economically but also ecologically. Although the overwhelming majority of energy production in Poland still comes from burning fossil fuels, renewable sources are beginning to play an increasingly important role, especially in the area of households. According to statistical data from the Polish Power Grid,...

Photovoltaics allow us to take care of the environment and save money at the same time. More and more people are realising that the use of renewable energy sources such as solar energy offers a multitude of benefits for ourselves and the planet. Until now, we have mainly associated photovoltaic panels installed on roofs with single-family homes. However, it turns out that...

Heat pumps have been successfully used in everyday life and industry in Europe and the USA for more than 25 years. Their feature is the conversion of so-called low-quality ambient heat: ground, water, air. This environmentally friendly technology has spread to the Polish market relatively recently. How does a heat pump work? A heat pump is a system by which it is possible to transfer...

Photovoltaics is the process of generating electricity from solar radiation. The development of photovoltaics is progressing rapidly worldwide. The sun - or rather the energy from its radiation - is the third largest source of renewable energy on the planet. The sun's energy can be used to power small portable devices, as well as for space heating, generating lighting and heating ...

Panels allow you to continuously reduce your energy bills. However, a natural question for first-time users is - how does photovoltaics work in winter? Efficiency of photovoltaic panels in Poland Many customers believe that solar panels produce more energy on a hot sunny day than on a cold sunny day. Which is not entirely necessarily true. Solar panels need light to...

Choosing the right place where photovoltaic panels will be installed is one of the most important issues of the entire investment.It is also the choice of the site that determines the efficient operation of the entire installation, as well as the subsequent logistics of its maintenance and servicing methods. The most common choices are roofs of buildings or unused land.What is therefore crucial when choosing a site for a photovoltaic installation? The most important factor that determines...

The purchase and installation of solar panels is an investment that pays for itself over a period of time. Although the upfront costs may seem high, the monthly savings on energy bills, independence from centralised energy sources and tax breaks will certainly reduce the overall cost of the system. The key question when it comes to the rate of return is - how long do photovoltaic panels last? What...

The surface of solar panels is quite delicate, so manufacturers use protective glass to avoid damage to the working segments. Installing solar panels on the roof of a building saves significantly on electricity costs. However, some manufacturers claim that the surface of the panels needs to be cleaned regularly in order to maintain effective operation. Below, we will try to answer the questions with what to clean the photovoltaic panels and...

Photovoltaic panels are not only a very ecological solution, but also - especially in the long term - an economic one. The ecology and economy of photovoltaics is closely linked to its characteristics. The installation of photovoltaic panels itself is usually preceded by many dilemmas and analyses. One of these is the question of where to install - on the roof or on the ground. Ground-mounted photovoltaics - when...

Is it worth it? Depending on the installed capacity, a photovoltaic installation costs from a few thousand to even a few hundred thousand. Installed in accordance with the state of the art and using good quality equipment, it will serve its purpose without maintenance for many years. However, there are situations beyond our control, such as acts of vandalism, theft, fires or above-average weather phenomena which may damage our domestic ...

Investing in a heat pump Heat pumps versus photovoltaics It is very possible that, when considering investing in photovoltaics for your home, you have come across information about how a heat pump works well in tandem with a PV installation as a heat source. This is because a heat pump is powered only by electricity, the demand for which is entirely...
