Solar Power Systems

SLP offers photovoltaic solutions (voltages produced from radiant energy) that are large enough to provide power to communities - from complete dwellings down to the smallest systems. Owing to our expertise and professional design systems, we can provide financial and performance reports and system proposals. Our expert technical team can then implement these aspects of optimal, sustainable living.

As testament to our commitment to enduring life, we have completed off-grid systems in local and remote parts of the country, as well as many successful projects for private and commercial use.

The products we use in our installations are of the finest quality. Although not all are locally manufactured, we do consider local producers as part of our ongoing efforts to support local enterprise. We can supply and install panels, inverters, batteries, controllers and monitoring systems.

ENERGY PAYBACK 

Solar Water Heating
The payback on Solar water heating can be realized in a few years.
Producing electricity with Renewable Energies (RE) emits no pollution, produces no greenhouse gases, and uses no finite fossil fuel resources. These are great environmental benefits. However energy is required to manufacture RE systems. Do these systems recover the energy required to construct them?

Renewable energy sources like solar electricity is one way to save money over the long term and unlike fossil fuels produce little or no carbon dioxide (CO2): one of the biggest causes of climate change.

Photovoltaic systems use solar panels – made up of individual PV cells – to turn daylight into electricity. A PV cell is made up of one or two layers of a semi-conducting material.

When light shines on the cell, it creates an electric field across the layers – and causes electricity to flow. And the more light the cell receives, the more electricity it can generate.
