Commercial PV Solar pricing
Commercial PV Solar pricing - Key ratios to look for in your PV proposal We all know the saying "penny-wise, pound-foolish", does it in any way apply to the commercial PV Solar Sector? It certainly does - we find out more, from Wayne de Jager - Commercial Director at SolarXgen "Africa". Priced to Sell or Perform? Whilst chasing the best "bang for your buck" is a traditional ideology attributed with moderate success, committing such to the lowest commercial PV offer may not be as sound. The following 2 Key factors portray, in summary, what and why to look out [...]
kVA Demand Charge
kVA demand charge could amount to 30% of your spend Your municipal electricity bill may not be purely based on the amount of energy your business consumes, infact in most instances kVA Demand Charge is a more expensive component. Maximum Demand A relatively new concept for municipal billing is a "max demand charge". A power related demand charge (measured in kVA) which has massive implications on your billing cycle. If your municipal charges include a component called a demand charge. This charge is based upon your highest recorded demand during a billing period, which is the maximum amount of electricity [...]
Delta RPI 80kW Inverter Launching in South Africa
Delta RPI 80kW Inverter to launch in SA The worlds largest string inverter was recently launched in North America. We are set to receive first orders in South Africa by the end of 2016. We discuss whats to expect with Delta's flagship product. It's more and better The latest RPI80 is a grid-tied, 3phase transformer-less inverter that converts DC output from a photovoltaic PV system into a utility frequency alternating current (AC). With industry leading efficiency of 98.8 percent, it seamlessly integrates within an electric grid and within buildings. Designed with simple installation and energy performance in mind, the RPI80 expands Delta's [...]
Inefficient Solar Systems – How to avoid Them
Inefficient Solar Systems - How to Avoid Them 2 Solar Systems look exactly the same , but one produces 30% more electricity. We often hear of systems that are producing way below what they should be. Why is this so? Proffesional Installation As the solar industry grows, so do the installation companies. Unfortunately, a solar system installation is not simply connecting PV panels to an inverter. Its a complex process, involving many underlying factors which affect performance. Trying to save on a system by having your "friend" install your system, can be costly in the long run. The above image shows [...]
Solar System Comparisons
Solar System Comparisons A solar system is comprised of 3 primary components , namely - photovoltaic solar panels (PV) , inverter and utility. Batteries and or Generators provide an additional element of energy supply for nighttime or utility power cuts. The ideal system for your home or business depends on your infrastructure and desired results. Our consultants will design a system specifically tailored for your demand and desired outcome. The Solar Power System Comparisons below provide a basic overview of the differences between options. Option 1 Grid-Tied A grid tied solar system is [...]

Off grid Solar – How it works
Power without the Grid, Back-Up An Off grid Solar system is designed to power your home or business when there is no state utility (Eskom). Either as Back-Up or fully off grid, these systems utilise batteries to store power. An Inverter changes the DC charge to AC which in-turn powers things up. SolarXgen specialises in both forms of Off Grid systems , Back-Up and Stand Alone systems. Off Grid Solar for "Load-Shedding" A back-up power system is typically installed to curb power outages during load shedding. Batteries are charged, through a charge-controller, by either - Solar panels or Eskom (or a [...]
Energy Storage Solutions – ESS
Energy Storage Solutions - We're powering Commerce SolarXgen's ESS Division offers a broad range of lithium ion battery systems, from kilowatt-hour sized systems for residential use to multi-megawatt-hour class systems for the utility industry. Energy Storage offers a variety of benefits The increase in the quantity of electricity produced by renewable sources is creating new challenges for energy grids that are already stressed. Coupled with the unstable supply of Africa's grid, makes for a dual challenge.Today's electricity systems must balance supply and demand at any time, enable more flexible grid management and ensure optimised levels of energy efficiency. [...]
Tesla batteries – Ready for SA Market
Are Tesla batteries coming to SA through SolarXgen? There has been a lot of speculation in the market place that SolarXgen is bringing the new Tesla battery ( Powerwall ) to South Africa. Could this be what is needed to curb the Load-shedding? We caught up with Brian Fox from SolarXgen to find out more. "We've heard the rumours smirks Fox - and all we can say right now is that we are tight-lipped". " I can however say that Tesla batteries will not soon be readily available but we do have a similar solution which is launching next month". [...]
