Maximizing the cost efficiency of a PV installation is crucial. Homeowners want to recover their investment as quickly as possible. For installers it’s an important argument to win over customers for solar. In this three-part series, we’ll delve into the advantages of PV oversizing or overdimensioning of residential PV installations and focus on the considerations that installers have to take into account.
In the first article of this blog series, we talked about the advantages of PV oversizing or overdimensioning. However, success hinges on key factors like quality inverters, string configuration, and diligent monitoring. In this article, we explore these critical considerations empowering installers to optimize PV systems effectively.
Many small rural municipalities harbor enormous potential for the energy transition. The share of renewable energies can continue to increase if the existing infrastructure is further expanded and modernized. In these municipalities, waste heat and water can also make a bigger contribution to the energy supply.
