V-TAC Solar Energy Solutions

The sun is a free, sustainable, clean resource we can utilise in place of conventional electricity to power our day-to-day lives. Solar energy can be used to provide heat, light, and other electricity-dependent needs in residential and commercial buildings.

HOW DO SOLAR PANELS ACTUALLY WORK?

Solar panels are made of highly excitable, conductive materials. When the sun’s rays hit the solar panels, the reaction creates direct current (DC) electricity. Do they work even on overcast days? Absolutely, since the sun's rays can still penetrate clouds and reach solar panels.

Since most homes and businesses use alternating current (AC) electricity, your solar-generated DC energy will pass through an inverter to become AC electricity. This energy can be rationed into load for everyday essential appliance use, the rest stored into a battery, or reverted back into a grid – entirely dependent on your choice and solar power system goals.

Solar panels enable humanity to maximize solar energy – a free, clean, energy resource. This is a major step in lowering carbon footprint and eventually achieving net-zero. V-TAC's new Energy catalogue aims to promote clean energy access with energy supplies at the best prices, and contributing to economic growth by pushing for energy savings.

WHY IS SOLAR ENERGY IMPORTANT?

There’s a reason why so many homeowners and businesses are turning to solar power. The benefits are undeniable, and not just for individuals, but for the planet as a whole. Here are just a few of the many reasons that support the importance of solar energy.

IT’S GOOD FOR THE ENVIRONMENT

The difference between solar energy and conventional electricity is that solar energy does not rely on the use of fossil fuels, does not pollute air or water, and does not contribute to global warming, making it the preferable option for many. Solar energy works with the earth’s natural resources, whereas conventional electricity depletes or harms them.

IT’S A RELIABLE, COST-EFFECTIVE ENERGY SOURCE

The sun is a renewable energy source, making solar energy highly reliable. Unlike fossil fuels which are expensive to mine and utilize, it doesn’t cost anything to receive sunlight. A one-time installation of solar equipment is all that’s needed to reap the benefits.

IT SAVES MONEY IN THE LONG RUN

Although the cost of installing solar panels or a solar electric system has decreased in recent years, some may still find the initial investment in solar energy to be intimidating. It is essential to remember that installation is a one-time event, whereas paying for conventional electricity is a frequent, ongoing, and expensive obligation, especially as electric rates continue to rise.

IT PROMOTES ENERGY INDEPENDENCE

Using solar energy, especially when paired with a backup battery system, allows you to not be tied to unreliable power grids when you need energy most.
