Solar Energy Made Simple: Understanding Residential Systems in Zimbabwe
Sona Headlines | Energy Guide
Residential solar systems in Zimbabwe have become more affordable in recent years, increasing the popularity of solar energy as a smart way to beat electricity bills while protecting the planet. If you are on the verge of switching to solar power and want to know more about your options, you are in the right spot.
| Residential solar systems are a growing trend in Zimbabwe. |
How Solar Works
All photovoltaic (PV) solar systems work on the same principle: solar panels convert sunlight into Direct Current (DC) electricity. This DC power can be stored in batteries or converted into Alternating Current (AC) by an inverter to power your home appliances.
Types of Solar Systems
How it works: Connected directly to the utility grid. Your home uses solar power when available and grid power when needed. Excess solar energy can be fed back to the grid.
Pros: Cheaper upfront (no batteries), simpler installation.
Cons: Requires a stable grid; shuts down during blackouts for safety.
How it works: Completely independent from the grid. Relies entirely on solar panels and a large battery bank to store power for night use.
Pros: total energy independence; works anywhere.
Cons: More expensive due to battery costs; requires careful energy management.
How it works: The best of both worlds. Connected to the grid but also includes a battery bank. You can use solar, grid, and battery power seamlessly.
Pros: Flexibility; power during blackouts; can save money by storing solar energy.
Cons: More expensive than simple on-grid systems.
Getting Started
- Assess Efficiency: Reduce your energy usage first (e.g., switch to LED lights).
- Check Potential: Ensure your roof or site gets enough sunlight.
- List Options: Decide whether you need a grid-tied, off-grid, or hybrid solution.
