DNX Energy Solves The Problem Of Aligning Solar Energy In Perth

3rd December 2021, Western Australia: With the advent of solar energy and the abundant blessing of sunlight in Perth, every Perth resident can today enjoy the joy of saving their electricity bills with splendid electricity flow. Here, DNX Energy explains everything you should know about aligning the solar energy systems and how SMA inverters in Perth can help you!

Placement

The placement and orientation of solar energy in Perth are imperative with adherence to the type of solar panels being used. A solar panel can tackle most of the power when the rays of the sun hit the surface perpendicularly.

When you ensure that solar panels are facing the accurate direction and have the right tilt,  you get help in producing the utmost energy. This is because they are exposed to the highest intensity of sunlight for the longest duration. Several solar arrays follow the sun with the use of solar tracking systems that can remarkably raise energy production. All these sections refer to fixed o non-tracking systems. 

Directions 

As per the general rule of solar panel placement in the northern hemisphere, solar panels should always face the south (and in the case of the southern hemisphere, the north). Generally, this is known as the perfect direction as solar panels can receive direct sunlight throughout the day. But, there are some differences between magnetic south and true south that one should be aware of. 

Magnetic south is the œsouth shown when you use a compass and south points to the south magnetic pole of Earth. Solar panels need to face solar or the geographic solar which is the direction towards the south pole. Because of the same logic, if any solar panel is located in the southern hemisphere, the panel should be facing in the true north direction. 

Well, this definitely depends on how the solar panels are being used, it is also advantageous having a slight rotation away from the due south. For instance, the home should face southwest depending on the use of solar panels. These panels can collect more energy when they are facing due south, but the energy is much more useful when it comes later in the day. This turn will allow the solar panel to produce more electricity at required hours. 

Pointing the panels somewhat south, in setting sun direction, allows the panels for the production of more energy in the evening while people are at home and using more appliances. Decrease in the total production gets balanced by the electricity available when you need them the most. In several areas, there is more electricity available from other sources in the morning or mid of the day.

SMA Inverters Making A Difference

SMA inverters are quite reliable and prominent solar inverters in the industry. Their product range also comprises the famous Sunny Boy and Sunny Tripower inverters. They also provide higher efficiency and vigorous reliability, and SMA solar technology has also been voted as the most preferred inverter manufacturer continuously for the fourth year in a row as per IHS. The SMA factory warranty lasts about 5 years as a standard that can have an extended lifetime of 20 years.
