[b]Mistakes to Avoid When Buying Solar Panels[color=#990000][/color]!!


Mistake 1: Focusing on the price tag, not the quality
We all know that solar panels can be expensive and usually require a fair investment. With general living expenses rising steadily, it is understandable that you may want to save money on your solar purchase. However, placing the quality of your solar panels in the shadow of lower price tags may eventually cost you more. When it comes to buying solar panels, it is good to remember that ‘you get what you pay for’. There is a reason why those panels are cheaper. Cheaper solar panels usually reveal a lower performance, are constructed with less sturdy and non-weather resistant components, and show power loss because of thin cabling. This means that while you may have bought a panel of 120W, it may only operate at 90W and not give you enough power. Saving money on your solar panels by neglecting their quality is not the way to go!

Mistake 2: Going shopping unprepared
Buying solar panels without knowing what you’re looking for will make your search that much harder. The first question you need to ask yourself is ‘How much solar power do I need?’. If you don’t know the answer to this question, you may end up buying a solar panel that is too small, or one that is too big for the appliances you want to run on solar power. This means you could either run out of power, or you could have saved yourself some more dollars buying a smaller sized panel

Mistake 3: Buying panels with a basic warranty
Generally, you can expect shorter warranties for cheaper solar panels. It is best to ask what the warranty exactly covers (e.g. only solar cells or the entire panel) and how long it lasts at the time of your purchase. The more confident a company is about their products, the higher their warranty will be. If you are tempted to buy solar panels with a shorter warranty, keep in mind that the panel is most likely not going to perform as well. Also remember that it is easier to claim warranty from a local company that distrubutes panels than from organisations with overseas suppliers. Double checking the warranty before you buy may save you unpleasant surprises in the long run.

@ KINGUI, the amount you will spend on solar doesnt depend on the size of you room, it depends solely on the appliances that you want to power with the generated electricity, so i will ask you, what do you have in your one room.

HOW DO SOLAR PANELS WORK?

The simplified answer:

Silicon is mounted beneath non-reflective glass to produce photovoltaic panels. These panels collect photons from the sun, converting them into DC electrical power. The power created then flows into an inverter. The inverter transforms the power into basic voltage and AC electrical power.That is a very brief explanation, but some may prefer a more in depth answer the question, “How do solar panels work?” Here is the more detailed response, though it still remains fairly basic:To start off, it is crucial that silicon be better explained. Silicon has four electrons in its outer shell. However, it has the capacity to hold eight. By sharing these four electrons with other silicon atoms and their four shell electrons, the capacity of eight is filled. When they combine with each other in this way, silicon atoms develop a strong, stable bond. This structure is known as pure, crystalline silicon.
Of course, this pure silicon is a poor conductor of electricity, as there are no electrons free to move about. In other words, the silicon is better off with impurities. To create these impurities, silicon is combined with something else.When silicon combines with an element that has five electrons to share, such as phosphorus, a negative charge is created. Silicon can only take four of the five electrons. This leaves one free electron looking for a spot. These additional electrons are known as free carriers; they carry an electrical current.On the other hand, when silicon is combined with an element that has three electrons a positive charge is created. Boron is a material which suits this purpose. When silicon and boron are combined, holes are created.These silicon combinations and their differing charges are used to make solar panels. As photons come down from the sunlight and strike the silicon, it shakes everything up. The free electron that was hanging onto the silicon/phosphorous combination is now forced to the outer ring. From here, it gets sucked up to the outer ring of the silicon/boron combination. This is how electricity is created.

CHARGING YOUR BATTERY WITH SOLAR PANELS
Investing in solar panels will allow you to charge your deep cycle battery with free energy from the sun, even when away from mains power. After panels have been placed in the sun, they will need to be attached to a solar regulator, also known as a charge controller. 12 volt solar panels can produce fluctuating power that would damage a battery if left unregulated but the solar charge controller keeps this voltage at a safe level. Most solar regulators also have the technology to switch to float charge when the battery has reached full capacity; eliminating the problem of overcharging.

While charging from solar is dependent on the weather and can involve an initial setup cost, solar panels provide an inexhaustible and environmentally friendly energy source for your batteries. FOR MORE INFORMATION CALL LUMINITY TECHNOLOGIES AND GADGETS ON 08184815827, 08147068749

SOLAR POWER ADVANTAGE AND DISADVANTAGE

Solar power is free and infinite, and solar energy use indeed has major advantages. It is an eco-friendly, sustainable way of energy production. Solar energy systems today are also much cheaper than they were 20 years ago, and save money in electricity expenses. In addition, it is a much environmentally cleaner form of energy production that helps reduce global warming and coal pollution. It does not waste water like coal and nuclear power plants and is also considered to be a form of energy that is much safer for use.

Although solar power production is widely considered to be a positive thing, some downsides require mentioning. The initial cost of purchasing and installing solar panels can be substantial. Sun exposure is critical and so location plays a significant role in the generation of electricity. Areas that are cloudy or foggy for long periods of time will produce much less electricity (BUT THANK GOD NIGERIA IS BLESSED WITH LONG HOURS OF SUNSHINE REQUIRED) . Other commonly argues disadvantages regard insufficiency of produced electricity and reliability issues that is why we at LUMINITY TECHNOLOGIES AND GADGETS have put together well calculated power solution to satisfy your electrical need in your home or at work.

I should have called you but I want people to also read about my questions and your reply.

Where City and State in Nigeria are you located?

Where is your office or home located?

How much solar do I need for 4 energy saving bulbs, a TV, Medium side LG sound system, 2 fan and a few phone charging points.

I believe there will be need for batteries and Inverter.

Please provide a break down of the present cost to get this done.

Lastly how do you expect to make a transaction for this service, you know no one will dare send money to you because you don't have the records, so are you willing to come with the items and get paid on arrival?

I expect your timely response, thanks

The Best Selling Poor Man’s Solar Energy System

Some people say, solar is expensive and you have to spend a lot of money to enjoy the benefits. This might well be one of the biggest lies ever told. Solar does not have to be expensive.

The truth is that solar is the way forward in Nigeria. I hope my country get to a stage when we can start looking into renewable energy sources as opposed to the problems that come with refining crude oil. God bless Nigeria.
