Q: How does a grid-tied solar power system work?
A: Solar panels capture sunlight to generate DC electricity, which an inverter converts to AC electricity suitable for home appliances. This reduces power drawn from the utility grid, lowering electricity costs. Excess energy can be exported to the grid for credits, and a two-way meter tracks energy flow. At night or on cloudy days, the system draws power from the grid as usual.
Q: What services does Solar Kinetic provide?
A: They offer solar PV system installations, including mounting solar arrays on rooftops, installing grid-tie and hybrid inverters, battery banks, and all electrical components with AC and DC safety measures. Services also include system testing, commissioning, client training, and handing over technical manuals, all compliant with electrical regulations.
Q: What is the net metering process?
A: Customers need to apply for their distribution company's net metering program (e.g., MERALCO). A two-way meter is installed to measure energy imported from and exported to the grid. At the end of each billing cycle, consumption of grid energy is reduced, and credits are received for excess energy exported, lowering overall electricity bills.
