How to choose the right solar system?
Multiply the consumption in Watts of the individual devices powered by the solar system by the number of hours of expected operation per day. The result will be the total Wh (watt-hours) demand per day. If this figure is lower than the values given for each season, the system performance is sufficient, otherwise a more powerful system should be selected. If you are not sure which system to choose, please contact us and we will be happy to advise you.
 
If any component of the solar system does not suit your needs, we will gladly replace it with another or remove it completely with a corresponding price adjustment. For this modification please contact us or indicate the fact in the notes in the order.
