SolarTeam can significantly reduce your traditional power consumption and bills whilst easing the stress of future power price hikes. Your electricity provider monitors the power you use from the grid and the solar energy your system collects from its panels. At times, you’ll need more power than your system produces – so it automatically imports electricity from the grid, just as it does now. But you still only ever pay for the power that you import from the grid, the rest is free.
The solar system only produces the electricity through the collection of sunlight. Therefore, at night no solar panel system is able to produce solar electricity so the household will obtain power directly from the mains. However, during the day the collected electricity is still fed back into the grid.
On sunny days your solar system will obtain the best possible electricity collection, however, on cloudy days, the panels will not collect the same amount. You can expect the panels to gather around half the output that would be achieved on a sunny day. If the electricity for a cloudy day is not enough to cover the household requirements, the system will use power directly from the grid.
