Tips for citizens
- Ensure that there is a warranty period for the components of the solar station and that they are certified. In case of any malfunction, it should be repaired by the manufacturer or authorized agent.
- Ensure that the company executing the project is qualified by the New and Renewable Energy Authority.
- The solar power station system allows for the exchange of energy it produces during the day with the energy from the national electricity grid through a bidirectional government meter (exchange meter).
- The property must be owned by the client or leased for more than 25 years.
- The household meter should be three-phase, registered in the client's name, and at the same address.
- The maximum capacity of the station equals the maximum load recorded by the meter.
- Save on your monthly bill through the net metering system for solar panels.
- Ensure your rights by calculating the exported energy to the electricity grid by signing a contract to connect the solar power station with the distribution company.
- Choosing the appropriate time for cleaning should be early in the day when the sun's heat is not intense and the temperature is still relatively cool to avoid thermal stress on the panels. Avoid cleaning during windy, dusty conditions, and in winter.
- Ensuring to create a schedule for solar panel cleaning on a weekly or monthly basis, depending on the level of pollution in the area where the panels are installed.
- Ensuring to monitor the production of the solar station to determine if there is a decrease in productivity and to identify the reasons behind it.
- Solar energy is a renewable or "environmentally friendly" energy source that relies entirely on sunlight.
- Solar power plants can be installed on building rooftops or on ground-mounted arrays.
- Solar panels are the most cost-effective way to generate electricity, as they require initial installation and then operate at maximum efficiency. Typically, the lifespan of a solar panel system is around 25 years.
What is Net Metering?
Net Metering is a system for exchanging electrical energy between a facility (such as a home, company, farm, etc.) and the national electrical grid. This system allows the surplus electricity generated by the facility, beyond its own needs (during peak hours of solar system operation during the day), to be exported to the grid. Conversely, electricity can be drawn from the grid when there is a deficit in production from the solar system (during nighttime hours when there is no solar production). Thus, the principle of net metering connects the solar (photovoltaic) system to the main electricity grid, with the grid acting as a large battery.
