What you need to know about solar wholesale

Solar energy is one of the largest and most efficient renewable energy sources in the world. We harness the sun's natural energy to generate electricity, heat and light homes and businesses.

First, the type of solar PV panel, and which one you choose, really depends on what you need it for, as well as the space you have available and the money you can spend on them. Solar cells have come a long way since their inception. They are now more advanced, not only more efficient, but also more aesthetically pleasing. The main solar panel types available are:

Monocrystalline solar modules: These types of solar panels take up less space than polycrystalline panels, but are about the same efficiency.

Flexible solar panels: They occupy the market with flexibility and are mainly used in RVs, yachts, houses, etc. However, they can be more expensive.

Portable solar panels: Portable foldable solar panels are easy to carry and have a conversion efficiency of up to 22%, which are compatible with mainstream brands of portable power stations on the market. Portable solar panels can be used in your portable power stations and outdoor mobile devices.

The benefits of solar panels

It's green: solar panels don't produce pollutants when they operate, so by using them, you can reduce your carbon footprint by using clean energy to power your off-grid, RV, yacht, and more.

SAVE CASH: Any electricity you produce is completely free and you can use it to power anything in your home or off-grid, RV, yacht. This will of course lower your energy bills and save you cash in the long run. You can also earn money from the Smart Export Guarantee in lieu of FIT, which means a faster return on investment.

It's renewable: the sun doesn't run out quickly, and they work even on cloudy days, so you should have plenty of free electricity year-round. Add battery storage to save any power you don't use during the day and use it at night when there's no sunlight. As a bonus, it will also reduce your carbon footprint.

Efficient year-round: They can generate energy year-round, not just when the sun is at its fullest.

Are there any downsides?

It was expensive to use them initially, although this has decreased a lot over the years and will continue to do so. They have become cheaper and easier to manufacture, which means the cost of buying them has dropped considerably. Plus, your energy bill savings will eventually exceed the initial cost.

The next thing to consider is the dependence on sunlight. They are most effective in bright sunlight; however, they do work on cloudy days. They can't work at night and therefore need to use some power from the grid at certain times. The best way to maximize efficiency is to use batteries to store power for nighttime use.
