Depending on where you live and the cost of the energy you use ($/kWh), this will vary. The average rate of return on your investment in a grid-tied Solar PV system would be approximately 7-12 years. If you have access to a provincial or federal rebate, the payback...
Installation costs will vary from system to system. Your energy need could be vastly different from my energy needs so it’s hard to determine a set rate of installation. Depending on how large of a system to be installed, the site location, and scope of work, the...
No. A standard grid tied solar PV system will not provide power in the event of a power outage as the Canadian Electrical Code dictates that the system must be disconnected from feeding into the grid in the event of an outage; however you can consider modifying the...
The main advantage is that they electrically isolate the panels from each other, so small amounts of shading, debris, snow or dirt on any pair of solar modules, or even a complete solar panel failure, does not disproportionately reduce the output of the entire solar...
String inverters are used in photovoltaics to convert direct current (DC) generated by solar PV panels into alternating Current (AC), and are typically installed on the outside wall of the building near the meter base, or inside near the main distribution panel....
