To see the output of your solar panels, you need an inverter that converts the generated direct current into alternating current and measures the output. Many inverters today have a built-in monitoring system that gives you access to yield data via an app or website. If your inverter does not have built-in monitoring, you can […]

What makes an inverter hybrid?
A hybrid inverter is an electronic device that combines several functions to provide a complex energy solution. It is a combination of a grid-connected inverter and an off-grid inverter. A grid-connected inverter converts direct current (DC) from solar panels to alternating current (AC) and feeds it back into the grid. An off-grid inverter converts DC […]
What capacity does my battery need?
It depends on the household’s energy consumption and the size of the solar array. On average, a household in the Netherlands has an energy consumption of 3500 kWh per year. If the solar panel system produces about 3 kWh per day, a household needs a battery capacity of about 11 kWh. However, it is always […]
Power outage
Using solar panels during power outages depends on the type of solar array you have. If you have solar panels with a battery system, you can use the stored energy in the batteries to power your home during power outages. If you don’t have a battery system, the energy generated by your solar panels is […]
