Am I willing to invest my money in the hopes of claiming my return of investment within 3-4 years?
The rising scarcity and cost of fossil fuel versus the improved technology and lesser cost of renewable energy have encouraged investors and stakeholders to harness a clean, safe, and free natural energy flux of the earth (sun, wind, heat, tides). The unprecedented climate changes have triggered nations and governments to act and counter the effect by using renewable energy programs and initiatives.
Solar is free, clean, safe, and low maintenance. Believe me, when I say, you are rich and wise when you are thinking to go solar. Now in the Philippines, a residential grid-tie solar greater than 100kW which purpose is only to save daytime electricity and receive rebates by selling excess power has an average return of investment of 3-4 years. After that, it's all savings. To make sure you attain the 4 years mark, you should choose the right technology and pick a trusted installer, plus never forget the warranty conditions and after-sales technical support.
Can my house’s roof structure hold the solar panels?
Solar panels and their mounting structures weigh an average of approximately 15-20kgs per panel (2000mm x 1000mm). If you are installing a 3kW system, you might be needing nine panels. A typical roof structure should be capable of at least hold about 135-150kgs, roughly equivalent to 3-4 sacks of rice on your roof.
But never worry, solar panels are installed in an even distribution on the roof which means a larger area will catch the weight and downforce exerted by solar panels. Your expert solar installer are capable of assessing so. However, if you are still worried, you may consult a civil/structural engineer.
What is my main reason for going solar?
If your aim is to save consumption in the daytime and you don’t care about brownouts, you can go with a Grid-Tie solar. It should be taken into consideration that a Grid-Tie solar is off during brownout and will sleep at night.)
If your aim is to save consumption on daytime and nighttime plus to experience NO BROWNOUTS, then you can go with Hybrid Grid Tie with Battery System.
If your aim is to be totally out from the grid and to fully rely on solar or half-half, you can go with Off-Grid Solar.
Each option has its own advantages and disadvantages depending on cost, technical and operation. Your expert solar installer near you should provide you the best options, for the best application.
