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 statistics from Polskie Sieci Elektroenergetyczne, in 2019, RES accounted for only 9.03 of electricity production. While utility power plants still show little willingness to supply green energy to our households, private investors are increasingly taking matters into their own hands and becoming largely independent of suppliers by opting to install RES installations in their homes.

Photovoltaics in the home are all advantages

By opting for a photovoltaic installation, we will receive a resource of free and, most importantly, completely ecological energy. The panels in question harness the energy potential of the sun in their operation - the radiation is converted into energy, which is then fed into our sockets. 

It cannot be said that photovoltaics give investors complete energy independence. This is due to the fact that the performance of the panels is affected by external conditions, and these are sometimes variable, especially in the Polish climate. However, this does not change the fact that by using a photovoltaic installation, we are making a significant contribution to saving natural resources, and the amount on our energy bills is also significantly reduced..

What instead of photovoltaics?

The numerous advantages of photovoltaics mean that more and more private investors are turning their attention towards this solution. However, it should be mentioned that photovoltaic panels are not the only source of green energy. Speaking of alternative solutions in Polish climatic conditions, the following should be mentioned first and foremost:

  • solar collectors,
  • domestic wind power plant,
  • hybrid solutions.

There are also systems dedicated to supplying CO systems:

  • biomass boilers,
  • recuperators,
  • heat pumps,
  • ground exchangers,
  • installations recovering heat from waste water.
