Frequently Asked Questions About Sunbright Energy
The cost of installing a backup system will depend on a number of factors depending on what the backup systems to achieve, for example:
There are three main types of solar panel systems you can have.
This is a system designed and installed to work without / independent of the electricity grid. They are designed to generate enough power for the year and have to be designed with a big enough battery bank to meet the installed locations electrical energy requirements or demand.
In Hybrid solar systems, solar panels produce power during the day and power the loads. Extra power generated by the solar panels is stored in the batteries for use at night or during load shedding. In hybrid solar systems, the grid is also used to power the load or charge batteries.
The grid-tied solar system is a type of solar system permanently connected to the electrical power grid. Grid-tie does not require batteries, as in the case of off-grid solar systems. Grid-tie solar systems allow the home to use solar energy when available, or to channel excess power back into the grid.
Solar panels take light from the sun and make electricity. Solar hot water systems take heat from the sun and heat water.
Yes, we do. Once orders have been placed and paid for, delivery and installation will be organised via our sister company in Zimbabwe
Solar energy makes use of the sun's rays to generate heat and electricity to be used in homes and on the grid. The renewable source of energy is open for everyone to use as it is quiet, clean and cost-effective.
There is no reason, if used properly, why you would not save on your bills. The whole idea with creating your own renewable energy source is to reduce using the energy from elsewhere that you have to pay for. Once you have started making and using your own energy, you are using less chargeable energy, therefore saving money.
If you are not in significant shade, then you are eligible to make great use of solar energy. You need to check that there are no trees crowding your property and that your roof can actually accommodate the panels.
The majority of domestic homes do not need to apply for planning permissions when adding solar panels to their home. Some do have exceptions such as listed buildings, national park areas and protected buildings so check your home or ask us for advice regarding procedures to follow.
As long as you are a property owner then you potentially qualify for solar panels. You may need planning permission if you live in a conservation area or in a listed property check with your local council for advice.
