Have Your Solar Panels Lost Their Power?
The simple act of repowering your system could give it a whole new lease of life, increasing what it produces massively, and generating lots more electricity or money for you.
In many ways, Solar PV should be your magic power – panels on your land managing to create enough energy for your home and business, with some left over to sell to the National Grid.
But an ever-increasing number of systems have lost their special ability and are operating at a fraction of their potential.
There are many reasons for this – such as their age, or the fact they were installed poorly in the first place.
Simon from HIT Energy Services said: “Farmers and business owners have shelled out huge sums for their Solar PV systems, and the least they can expect is they keep generating large amounts of power for them five, 10, 20 years after installation, and well into the future.
“In many cases, this simply isn’t happening, and we have seen cases of systems losing huge amounts of power, much to the frustration of owners.”
Repower And Recapture Your Investment
It can be common for solar systems to degrade over time and output to reduce – to the point they are producing at 80%, or as low as 50% or less of their original potential.
This is a problem that HIT Energy Services’ engineers are increasingly seeing at sites across the UK.
In many cases, modules need replacing, with work on inverters as the panels are simply not efficient enough to produce lots of energy.
“The good news is, we are able to replace them with more efficient panels that generate far more energy,” added Simon.
“Not only that, by linking them up to our HIT Energy Guard monitoring technology, we are able to constantly keep an eye on them.
“This means if generation levels ever drop again, we can send an engineer to fix the problem before it starts costing the owner money.”
This peace of mind means many owners are opting for us to fit even more efficient panels, to help them take advantage of the increased generation.
Simon added: “Because of the oversight of the HIT Energy Guard, owners can be sure their systems will be generating at near 100% of their potential at all times.
“It means they are generating far more energy to power their businesses, farms and homes, or to sell to the National Grid.
“Those that have invested in more panels, are able to pay back the cost of the installation in some cases 2.5 years with the extra energy generation. So it really is a win-win for them, and future proofs their Solar PV.”
HIT Energy Services’ engineers are repowering sites all around the UK and giving them brand new leases of life, leading to surges in generation for the owners.
