Business What are solar photovoltaic kits? Uneeb KhanSeptember 27, 2022098 views Solar manufacturer in Pakistan are the set of photovoltaic components that make up a photovoltaic installation. There are multiple photovoltaic kits depending on the need for the photovoltaic system (isolated self-consumption, self-consumption in motorhomes, kits for agricultural irrigation, etc.). Generally, self-consumption kits have user manuals to carry out the photovoltaic installation individually. However, we always recommend that a qualified professional carry out the commissioning of the system to guarantee that the performance of the photovoltaic system will be optimized.

A photovoltaic installation will allow us to reduce our electricity bill by up to 50 – 70%. To maximize savings, it is essential to calculate how many solar panels we need to increase the percentage of self-consumption and reduce electricity consumption from the electrical network. Keep in mind that there are many factors that influence the amount of money saved, including: The geographical location of your photovoltaic installation Your consumption profile The electricity rate you have contracted The mode of energy self-consumption The size of the installation (the larger the dimensions, the greater the savings) Photovoltaic installations in Pakistan are amortized over an average of 7 years. In the following table, we show you an idea of the money you can save annually depending on the type of photovoltaic system and the amount of money invested: What is the photovoltaic installation process? The process of installing solar panels consists of the following steps: 1. Budget and solar study The first step to take to install solar panels is to request various budgets and determine which photovoltaic installer is best for you. To do this, it will be necessary for you to provide a series of data in order to obtain an offer that is as close as possible: The property where the self-consumption system will carry out (single-family home, business, a community of neighbors, etc.). Use of the photovoltaic installation: continuous consumption (first home) or sporadic (second home). The province in which the project is going to be located: to determine the number of hours of sunshine per year. Electricity consumption: electricity bill, CUPS, or the number of annual kWh consumed. With this information, the installation company will tell you how the design of your photovoltaic system should be to cover your energy needs and how much you should invest. If the offer seems attractive to you, a qualified technician will visit the place where the installation is going to be carried out to carry out an exhaustive solar study and provide you with a definitive offer. 2. Signing of the contract and administrative procedures If you accept the final offer and decide to continue with the photovoltaic installation, it is time to carry out the entire administrative process Depending on the type of self-consumption, some procedures will vary. These are: Installation Design Access and connection permissions | Endorsements or guarantees Environmental and public utility authorizations Prior administrative and construction authorization Work license Running the installation Initial inspection and periodic inspections Certificate of installation and/or completion of work Authorization of exploitation Access contract Auxiliary services energy supply contract Activity license Surplus distribution and compensation agreement Registration in the Autonomous Registry of Self-consumption of electrical energy Registration in the Administrative Registry of Electric Power Production Facilities Market representation contract The duration of the administrative procedure, depending on the autonomous community, will last approximately between 1 and 2 months. 3. Commissioning of the installation Once the legalization process is finished, an installer will carry out the commissioning of your photovoltaic system. In addition, it will provide you with the necessary information so that you can verify that your installation works properly at all times. Installation takes approximately 1-2 days. Are there subsidies to install solar panels in Pakistan? Yes. Pakistan has subsidies and tax incentives to invest in photovoltaic energy (which vary depending on the autonomous community). Check if there are tax aids and rebates for self-consumption in your province. 4. Maintenance of photovoltaic systems Maintenance of solar panel installations is scarce. However, it is advisable to apply certain care to guarantee that all the components of our project work correctly and that we are obtaining the maximum performance. Is it possible to finance photovoltaic panel installations? Cash: payment will made at the time the installation is sign to the company, acquiring all the rights and properties of the company. Internal financing: the installation company offers a loan with financing with an established period of approximately 6 to 10 years. Interest is set by the company. External financing: there is also the option of requesting a loan from a bank, therefore, the conditions will establish by the bank. Other methods: Some installation companies offer other flexible payment methods, such as paying the installation in monthly installments without any additional interest. Are there alternatives to the purchase of photovoltaic installations? Yes, some photovoltaic companies allow the rental of Solar companies in Pakistan without the need to make any initial investment.
