Solar Photovoltaic (PV) technology allows to convert sunlight directly into electricity. Here is how it works.

“Photovoltaic” comes from the process of converting light (photons) to electricity (voltage). PV technology was discovered in 1954 when scientists found that silicon (an element contained in sand) created an electric charge when exposed to sunlight. Today, Solar PV is a proven technology which provides electricity to millions of homes and businesses worldwide.

Our solar PV systems are made in Germany and include the following components:

Safety devices. In order that your PV system is safe, it is fitted with additional devices such as DC isolator, AC isolator, cut out, and earthing protection.

Tip. Depending on your area and building characteristics, it may be advisable to install a lightning protection system in order to protect your PV system against lightning strikes. Please note that inverter damage due to lightning is excluded from manufacturer warranty but may be covered by your building insurance.
