PV SYSTEMS

The presence of a functional electricity grid is not always as obvious as it would seem to be. An insufficient infrastructure is often the cause for an unreliable grid. Things become even more difficult when there is no grid at all. And yet you are in need of a reliable electricity supply. A local and properly functioning system is the only answer at this point. HSW Energy offers you such an answer. We are proud to offer you our modern translation for freedom and independence. Energy, Anytime, Anywhere.

Our OFF-GRID systems are custom designed and based upon the electrical needs of the customer. These systems are highly recommended for the hinterlands and remote places where there is no access to grid electricity.

By carefully selecting and using quality products & components such as batteries, charge controllers and inverters we can assure you of a good functioning system.

A grid-tied solar panel system is simply a solar energy system that is connected to the electrical grid and, therefore, uses electricity from both the solar panel system and the electrical grid. Because of this, a grid-tied solar system doesn’t have to meet all of the electricity demands of the home. If needed, the home can draw energy from the grid at times (such as on cloudy days or at night) when solar panels are not producing at full efficiency.

If you produce more solar energy in the day than you use, it gets fed back into the grid and you can receive an energy credit on your electric bill with what's known as "net metering". Therefore if your solar panel array produced enough electricity your power meter would actually begin to turn backwards.

With a grid-tied system you can lower your monthly electric bills. Initial investment is less compared to an off-grid solar system which uses batteries resulting in a faster Return-On-Investment. The grid acts as a your virtual battery.
