WHY GO SOLAR?Solar power is a renewable energy solution. It is a clean alternative to fossil fuels since there will be less carbon emissions, making it environment friendly. In addition to that, the system will also pay for itself since it will generate cost savings for the homeowner's monthly electricity bill.uestion go to app settings and press "Manage Questions" button.

HOW DO SOLAR PV SYSTEMS WORK?Solar panels contain photovoltaic cells that convert solar energy into electrical energy when exposed to solar radiation. Since solar panels generate DC power, an inverter is required. Inverters convert DC power into AC power, which is the power requirement for most household appliances.
-
TYPES OF SOLAR PV SYSTEMS?There are three main types of systems: On-Grid, Off-Grid, and Hybrid systems. From these types of systems, there are various solar PV applications such as residential, industrial, commercial, solar farm, water pumps, solar street lights, and etc.
-
WHAT IS AN ON-GRID SYSTEM?On-Grid systems are connected to the grid (PLN). PLN will supply any required electricity when the house is using more electricity than what is being produced by the solar panels. Likewise, PLN will buy the excess solar electricity when there is excess generation from the solar panels.
-
WHAT IS AN OFF-GRID SYSTEM?Off-Grid systems are independent from the grid (PLN), meaning they are not connected to PLN. These systems utilize energy storage technologies, usually batteries. Any excess solar power will be stored in the batteries, which could then be used at a later time.
-
WHAT IS A HYBRID SYSTEM?Hybrid systems can function as On-Grid or/and Off-Grid systems. These systems are connected to the grid and also utilize batteries. The batteries are mostly used as backup energy.
-
WHAT IS THE LIFTIME OF A SOLAR PV SYSTEM?SMSolar uses top-quality products allowing our solar PV systems to produce electricity for 25 years and more.
-
WHERE CAN I INSTALL SOLAR PANELS?Solar panels can be installed anywhere as long as there is exposure to the sun. This includes residential roofs, commercial buildings, industrial factories, garage as carports, storage facilities, boats, and even satellites.
-
WILL THE SYSTEM WORK AT NIGHT?Solar panels produce electricity when it is exposed to sunlight. Therefore, the system will not produce electricity at night. However, you could include batteries in the system which stores solar energy during the day. This way, the solar energy can be utilized at night.
-
WHAT ABOUT SOLAR PANELS DURING CLOUDY/RAINY WEATHER?Yes, solar panels will still produce electricity when it is exposed to indirect sunlight, which is often the case during cloudy or rainy days. As for the rain itself, the water in fact wipes off the dust on the solar panels which clean it and optimize its performance
-
HOW LONG TO INSTALL SOLAR PV SYSTEMS?Solar power system installations take around 2-5 days for residential scale projects. However, the entire process could take up to 1-2 months which includes procurement, testing, permitting, and reporting to PLN.
-
HOW MUCH IS A TYPICAL SOLAR PV SYSTEM?The cost of a Solar PV System varies, but it mainly depends on the power installed and the preferred type of PV system. Feel free to reach out to us for more details! Email: sales@smsolarindo.com Office: +62 2518366485 WhatsApp: +62 81317698106

HOW MUCH MAINTENENCE IS REQUIRED FOR A SOLAR PV SYSTEM?Solar PV systems don't require a lot of maintenance. It mainly consists of washing/rinsing the panels during dry season to wash away any accumulated dusts that can block sunlight. To do the washing, you can use normal water solution.
