Presently, an electric element that comes with a never-ending monthly bill probably heats your hot water.

To collect this natural heat, simply use a collector that gathers the sun’s rays. Then, circulate water from the panel to a storage tank, where the hot water waits until you call for it for a hot shower or to wash.

Why Should I install solar water heating?

• Free hot water – an average sunny day in Nigeria generate sufficient solar energy to provide all your hot water without using electricity.
• Save Money – approximately 50% of your electricity bill could be saved. Using solar water heater systems could drastically reduce the size of installed generator sets.
• An investment – solar water hearing system will add value to your property.
• Environmental Friendly – solar energy is clean energy. No pollution.
• Self-sufficiency – with a solar water heating system you are protected from the ever-increasing cost and erratic

Economics of Solar Water Heating Systems

Comparing using solar water heating system vs. conventional electric water heater in a 50 – room hotel comprising 50 rooms, restaurant, kitchens and laundry.

Assumptions:

Hot water usage per day is 3000 liters

A 50-liter electric water hear cost $95.00

Electricity tariff for commercial premise is $.0.06 per kWh

1. HOW MUCH IS YOUR ENERGY/ELECTRIC BILL?

Knowing how much you pay for energy is the first step in evaluating whether going solar will save money. For most homeowners, the electricity bill is a dreaded monthly expense. The general rule is that solar makes the most financial sense for someone with a monthly electricity. Why? Because going solar replaces utility energy with solar energy, and we want our customers to see a return on that investment by paying less for that energy. There are several ways to go solar, depending on a customer’s needs and goals.

The overall idea is to pay less than you currently pay, lock in your electricity rate and save money by generating your own clean energy onsite.

2. WHAT KIND OF ROOF DO YOU HAVE?

Solar panels work best with strong, durable roofing materials, such as composite or asphalt shingle, concrete tile or standing seam metal. For roofing materials  such as wood shake and slate tile, or for roofs made of clay with mortar or composite metal/stone coated steel, you can still go solar but you’d want to choose a solar partner who has experience installing solar panels on those types of roofs. Also, the type of mounting hardware your solar installer plans to use is important. HouseSolutions hardware is designed to work with most roof types.

3. DOES YOUR ROOF NEED TO BE REPLACED?

It’s a good idea to replace a roof that is near the end of its life before installing solar because our solar panels have an expected useful life of 25 years, and you wouldn’t want to unnecessarily have to remove them. Solar panels should be installed on roofs that are in good condition and will not need to be replaced in the near future. Consider that your savings from high efficiency solar panels could pay for the cost of a re-roof in as little as five years after installation, so it may be worth it to do any needed roofing work before your solar installation (if it is absolutely necessary). Good enough HouseSolutions can handle all your Roofing installation services in Nigeria

4. HOW MUCH SUNLIGHT DOES YOUR ROOF RECEIVE?

 

Schedule an appointment for a solar consultation with an expert who will visit your home to inspect its orientation (solar panels facing south capture more energy), roof angle and tree shading to see if your roof will receive enough sunlight to meet your family’s energy needs. HouseSolutions solar consultations/site inspection are no cost, and you can learn a lot about your home and best energy options. The more direct sunlight your home receives, the more power the panels will produce.

5.  WHAT IS YOUR REGION’S CLIMATE LIKE?

Solar energy can be generated in all sorts of extreme climates, from rainy areas to extremely hot locations such as the Northern part of Nigeria eg Kano. High-efficiency solar panels convert direct and indirect sunlight into electricity, so they work even on cloudy days. A solar consultant will closely estimate the amount of energy your system will produce so that you can see the potential savings before you decide to go solar.

If your area is prone to severe weather, check the durability rating of the panels you’re considering for your home. Know that with HouseSolutions, you are sure to benefit from every ray of sunshine.

The post 5 Essential Questions to Consider Before Going Solar appeared first on Bezalil HouseSolutions Ltd-Interior and Exterior Services.

Rooftop Solar Panels: 

This is probably the most common and obvious method, if you’re looking into renewable power. Solar panels typically go on your roof, although you can also install them in your yard. Depending on your latitude and the orientation of the panels, you could generate 10 or more watts per square foot. A typical house consumes at least a kilowatt of power, so a few square feet of solar panels should be enough to power most or all of your needs.

Of course, one big weakness of solar power is that it only works when the sun is up. If you want to power your home when the sun is down, you’ll need to install inverters and back up batteries, pay for grid electricity or invest in a second type of renewable energy. Get one today from a solar power distribution company in Nigeria

Wind Turbines: 

Wind turbines are most commonly found in windfarms or floating offshore, but if you have enough real estate you can install a small wind turbine on your property to power your home. There are a few downsides to a wind turbine that make them less popular in residential areas. They can be ugly and make a lot of noise. They also take up space.

But if these disadvantages don’t apply to you or don’t bother you, wind power may be a great asset. Wind power is more stable than solar, and a good-sized wind turbine can easily generate most or all of your electricity needs. Depending on your area, wind might be a better renewable investment than solar.

Generators:

this has been the most popular alternative to NEPA in Nigeria. Statistics show that over 30 million Nigerians own a diesel generator. It has become popular because it is readily available and at an affordable initial cost. This does not mean it is cheaper than solar when measured over a period of time. The cost of servicing and maintenance for the generator always makes you to end up spending more

Inverters and Back-up batteries:

This isn’t renewable energy, but it works well with any home renewable generator and can even save you money without any other renewable system. They are large rechargeable battery that can store several kilowatt-hours of electricity. On its own, it can be programmed to charge itself from the grid or generators. So its always best used in combination with a source of renewable energy generation like solar or wind power. The Powerwall can store excess electricity that you don’t use right away, so you can always use renewable solar or wind energy even when the sun is down or the wind’s not blowing.

The average household needs a solar panel to provide around 3kW. The more electricity your system can generate, the higher the initial installation cost, but the savings will also be higher in the long term. It is safe to say that solar panels cost isn’t cheap. Nevertheless, after you have covered the solar panel installation cost, you start saving and making money. Continue reading to find out on how to regenerate your investment from solar panels cost.

Standard Solar System Components

This brings up an important point: it takes more than a solar panel to get a PV system up and running, though. In fact, there are generally four components in every PV system:

1. Solar panels – captures sun’s energy and converts it to electricity
2. Controller – protects batteries by regulating the flow of electricity
3. Batteries – store electricity for later use
4. Inverter – converts energy stored in a battery to voltage needed to run standard electrical equipment
