Once you receive and accept your solar quote, one of our qualified CEC certified design installers will come out and do a final measure and confirm all details with you.

Your system should be completely installed within two to four weeks after confirmation.

The premium products we use are from trusted and dependable brands such as Fronius inverters and Trina or REC solar panels.

The solar panels have longer manufacturer warranties and a 25-year linear performance warranty. They are backed by companies that have been around for a long time, invest heavily in research and development and have advanced robotic production lines.

A photovoltaic system (PV) should be as unshaded as possible all year round to deliver high yields. This can be considered when the system is planned. However, the environment may change over time, resulting in partial shading of the PV modules. New buildings or construction elements such as chimneys, dormer windows, power cables or growing trees could be responsible for this.

This kind of shading has a negative impact on the yield of a photovoltaic system and should not be underestimated.

There are solutions to shading that are considered when installing a system.

DYNAMIC PEAK MANAGER – INTELLIGENT SHADE MANAGEMENT

The Dynamic Peak Manager is a shade management solution that is integrated into the inverter and maximises the yield of a photovoltaic system despite shading – and all without installing additional components.

With Fronius Dynamic Peak Manager, you can always bring out the best for your system, even when there is partial shading. This highly efficient MPP tracking algorithm detects any shade and optimises the yield at the string level. Not only does this cost less because there are fewer system components, it also keeps installation and service costs to a minimum.

POWER OPTIMISERS IN THE CASE OF SHADING OF PV SYSTEMS

DC power optimisers adjust the voltage of shaded PV modules by boosting or decreasing it. The component requires energy to do this. The more shade there is, the higher the consumption of the optimiser, and the lower the efficiency. This means, especially in partial shading situations, that power optimisers often cannot compensate for the shade, so they do not generate a higher yield.

Another disadvantage of DC-optimised systems is the large number of components on the roof. Each power optimiser sits directly behind the PV module on the roof and is therefore continuously exposed to heat, cold, rain and snow. This is bad for sensitive power electronics and can have repercussions for servicing and the fire risk.

The number of defects in DC plug connections, which represent the main source of photovoltaic system problems, is tripled in DC-optimized systems.
