Can Standalone Solar Energy Panels Be Better Than Solar Energy Panels Which Have Been Connected To The National Grid?
Even though many customers of Solar Energy Panels could well want to take advantage of the cash benefits such as the feed-in tariff, they must have the building connected to the national grid to enable them to transfer excess electricity produced by the Solar Energy Panels set up. There could well be times where a building does not have a connection to the national grid, such as difficult to access areas, where the customer depends on oil or petrol driven generators for electricity supply. But the domestic customers could want to take up Solar Energy Panels in order to save costs on fuel, which could be substantial in difficult to access areas.
The Solar Energy Prices for fitting of the Solar Energy Panels can be approximately 12,000 for a typical domestic building and the Solar Energy Prices, recouped by the feed-in tariff can be approximately 500 to 800 per year, and of course, any electricity that the Solar Energy Panels generate is free. It goes without saying that the standalone Solar Energy Panels set up would not be able to supply the Solar Energy Prices benefits. In order to recover as much of the electricity produced, a battery storage system would be required so that surplus electricity can be stored for consumption when required, which would naturally, add to the Solar Energy Prices total.
While the case for standalone Solar Energy Panels in difficult to access areas could be probably worthwhile, for domestic customers in areas served by the national grid, a Solar Energy Panels set up could well need to be rather large so that it can provide enough electricity to cover the needs of a household. It goes without saying that if the customer wanted to also add battery storage functionality, then this would add to the Solar Energy Prices to be paid. It would need a determined individual to go for a standalone Solar Energy Panels set up in a case like this, where the Solar Energy Prices to be paid could well be much more in excess of the 12,000, and with no feed-in tariff available to offset the Solar Energy Prices, it could well be many years before any benefits were seen.
