Solar panel systems are an excellent investment for Blackpool area homeowners looking to harness renewable energy and reduce their electricity bills. At West Coast Electrical, we provide quality solar panel systems tailored to your home’s specific energy needs. These systems consist of photovoltaic (PV) panels that convert daylight into electricity, allowing you to power your home with clean energy.
Solar Panel Systems: Microinverters vs. String Inverters
In solar panel systems, the choice between microinverters and string inverters is crucial. Microinverters, such as those from our preferred brand Enphase, are installed on each individual panel, allowing for detailed monitoring and increased safety. With microinverters, you can track the performance of each panel separately, and if any issue arises, the system can shut down automatically, preventing potential hazards and eliminating the need to run DC power to a central string inverter. On the other hand, string inverters, like those from Alpha ESS, are a more cost-effective option. They connect a series of panels together, converting the generated DC electricity into AC power for household use.
Bird Deterrent Solutions by Van der Valk
An essential component of solar panel systems is effective bird deterrent solutions. Birds can cause significant damage by nesting under the panels, leading to potential system malfunctions. At West Coast Electrical, we use products from Van der Valk to protect your solar panel systems. These deterrents prevent birds from nesting beneath the panels, ensuring the longevity of your system while keeping the birds safe from harm.
We design and install systems that maximise energy efficiency and reliability, providing sustainable energy solutions that meet your needs. Contact us today to learn more.
