Overview of Energy Efficiency
Before installing a Solar Photovoltaic (PV) system, it is critical that we are aware of what our clients’ electricity consumption is as well as potential opportunities for energy saving. This is due to the fact that we need to provide our clients with a system that will cater for their requirements and not leave them frustrated because the system generates less power than they actually consume. An electrical energy audit will provide our clients with concise daily statistics of their electricity consumption. This is measured at various intervals during the day and a comprehensive report is compiled which demonstrates their consumption.The report allows us to visually see when most of their electricity is being consumed. Knowing their daily electricity consumption allows them to make changes within their homes or offices to reduce their electricity usage, thereby offering them cost-savings through initiatives such as:
- Replacement of conventional light bulbs with energy saving bulbs
- Installation of meters to visualize and control of the own consumption
- Switching off lights and appliances when not needed
- Installation of solar water heating systems
- Installation of occupancy sensors in buildings
