What is an inverter for solar power?
An inverter for solar power is a major component in your solar panel setup that is able to convert the direct current (DC) generated by your solar panels to AC that is ready-to-use (AC) to provide power to your home. The majority of them have a conversion rate of between 93%-96 per cent, though some more recent models boast a rating of 97% to 99%.
Solar power inverters need to be
regularly maintained and taken care of, it can last for between 5 and 10 years. If it's
time for replacement, seek out a professional installer since the inverter is
one of the most expensive parts of the solar installation. Installing it
yourself could prove costly if you do not make the right mistakes.

replacement of solar panels as well as inverters in Sussex as

How do SEG tariffs work?
If you’re considering a solar installation you may have heard of SEG tariffs and been told they can make you money. But what is an SEG tariff and how does it work?
A Smart Export Guarantee (SEG) tariff pays
customers for the renewable electricity they generate and put into the grid. It
replaces the Feed-in Tariff (FIT) scheme which paid solar panel owners for
electricity generated at home.
When you sign up to an SEG tariff
you are paid for excess electricity generated that is fed into the National
Grid. It differs from the FIT scheme which pays for all electricity produced so
SEG payments tend to be lower.
You cannot receive a feed-in tariff and SEG
payments simultaneously, but you can opt-out of the feed-in tariff scheme if
you would prefer to receive SEG payments.
Energy suppliers decide the rate they pay,
the length of the contract, and whether tariffs are fixed or variable. Fixed
SEG tariffs pay a set rate per kilowatt-hour (kWh) for electricity exported throughout
the duration of the contract.
Variable tariffs have fluctuating prices
depending on market demand.
Before deciding on the best SEG tariff
you should shop around for the best deals.

flashing green as if they’re not you’re losing money by no longer compensating
for your electricity use.

performance at the same time each day to identify inefficiencies

What is a HIES accredited installer?
If you’ve been looking into solar installation, you’ve probably come across the term ‘HIES accredited’. But what does it mean and how do solar installation firms become accredited? HIES stands for Home Installation and Energy Systems and the HIES accreditation scheme is a consumer protection organisation with a Chartered Trading Standards Institute (CTSI) Approved Consumer Code. HIES is here to protect you as a buyer and give you confidence that the firm installing your solar panels have been independently approved.
To gain HIES accreditation, solar installation companies must:
• Be well established and demonstrate financial stability
• Pass a comprehensive credit and background check
• Provide evidence of an approved consumer contract
• Provide a guarantee/workmanship warranty
• Provide employer’s liability and public liability insurance certificate
If approved, installers are required to abide by HIES standards and the Code of Practice.
Installers must register all domestic contracts signed during their period of HIES membership, where the product installed is on the HIES approved product list.
HIES carries out continuous vetting while membership is active and annual audits.
At Sesas UK we’re proud to be approved by HIES. For solar installation, Kent, get in touch for reliable, accredited installation work.
