What should I know before buying solar panels and inverters?

Before purchasing solar panels and inverters, it is important to consider a number of factors, including: The power output of the solar panels: 

  • The power output of solar panels is the amount of energy they can generate in a given period of time. The higher the power, the more energy can be generated. 
  • The type of solar panel: There are two main types of solar panels: monocrystalline and polycrystalline panels. Monocrystalline panels are more efficient than polycrystalline panels, but they are also more expensive. 
  • The efficiency of solar panels: The efficiency of solar panels is the amount of energy they convert into electricity relative to the energy they receive from the sun. The higher the efficiency, the greater the amount of electricity that can be generated. 
  • The lifespan of solar panels: Solar panels have a lifespan of between 25 and 30 years. 
  • The price of solar panels: The price of solar panels has dropped considerably in recent years, but it is still a significant investment. 

In addition to these factors, it is also important to take into account the climatic conditions in the area where the solar panels will be installed. For example, in areas with a lot of solar radiation, solar panels with lower power can be used.

Where can I buy material for a solar garden in bulk?

In Avanzze Renovables you can make your purchase of solar energy material. We are a company that is dedicated to the import and direct factory wholesale of material for solar farms. That is why we offer very competitive prices compared to other brands and retailers.

What kind of material do I need to set up a solar garden?

The materials needed to set up a solar garden vary depending on the size and power of the garden. However, the basic materials needed are as follows:

  • Solar panels: Solar panels are the main component of a solar farm. They are responsible for converting solar energy into electricity. 
  • Solar inverters: Solar inverters transform the direct current generated by the solar panels into alternating current, which is the current used in the electricity grid. 
  • Support structures: Support structures hold the solar panels in place. 
  • Electrical connections: Electrical connections connect the solar panels to each other and to the solar inverter. 
  • Other installations: Other elements needed for a solar farm may include: 
  • Monitoring systems: These systems monitor the performance of the solar farm and send data to the owners. 
  • Security systems: These systems protect the solar farm from theft or vandalism.

What are the differences between a bifacial and a monofacial solar panel?

Bifacial solar panels are solar panels that can generate electricity on both sides. Monofacial solar panels, on the other hand, can only generate electricity on one side. Bifacial solar panels have a number of advantages over monofacial solar panels including:

  • Higher efficiency: Bifacial solar panels can generate up to 20% more electricity than monofacial solar panels.
  • Lower environmental impact: Bifacial solar panels require less material and energy to manufacture.

However, bifacial solar panels also have some disadvantages, including the following:

  • Higher cost: Bifacial solar panels are more expensive than monofacial solar panels.
  • Lower low-light performance: Bifacial solar panels have lower low-light performance than monofacial solar panels.

How many panels and inverters do I need to set up a 1MW solar farm?

The number of panels and inverters needed to set up a 1MW solar farm depends on the type of solar panel used. If 300 W monocrystalline solar panels are used, approximately 4,080 panels are needed to generate 1MW of power. In this case, 10 inverters of 100 kW each would also be needed. If 400 W bifacial solar panels are used, approximately 2,540 panels are needed to generate 1MW of power. In this case, 6 inverters of 250 kW each would also be needed.

How profitable is a solar farm?

The economic profitability of a solar farm depends on several factors, such as the power of the installation, the price of electricity and the investment costs. In Spain, the profitability of solar farms has increased in recent years, due to the increase in electricity prices and the subsidies offered for the installation of renewable energies. In general, solar farms can have a high economic profitability, especially in the long term. Conclusions Solar farms are a clean and efficient technology for generating electricity from solar energy. Solar farms can be installed anywhere where sunlight is available, although flat, sunny soils are preferred. The economic profitability of solar farms has increased in recent years, due to the rising price of electricity and the subsidies offered for the installation of renewable energies.
