FAQs
Some of the questions our customers have. If you don't find your query below please feel free to contact us. We would be happy to clarify.
01
What is renewable energy?
Energy sources that are either inexhaustible (solar, wind) or replenished over a short period of time (hydro, biomass, geothermal) are considered renewable. Most renewable energy ultimately comes from the sun - indirectly in the case of wind, water, and biomass; directly in the case of solar (PV) generation. Natural gas and coal, for example, are not renewable because their use consumes gas and coal reserves at a much quicker rate than they can be replenished.
02
Will I need to rewire my home?
|
Buying Advolt Energy electricity requires NO rewiring or special equipment. You will still be connected to the same regional power grid that provides your power now and the energy generated through renewables will be an aditional feed. |
03
What is the payback period for these systems?
The answer is “yes” these systems will pay for themselves. The cost basis used in calculating the payback is the key to assessing a “payback” period. If we assume the cost of electricity and natural gas will not increase over time, a PV system will take 6 to 8 years to "pay for itself". These parameters are based on Tamil Nadu's current energy costs and tariffs.
04
What is cleaner electricity?
|
Most people aren’t aware that the traditional generation of electricity is the leading cause of industrial air pollution. “Cleaner electricity” is from generation sources that produce little to no air pollution (carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides) and/or radioactive waste, especially when compared to traditional sources of electric generation (i.e., coal and nuclear). Sources of cleaner electricity include wind, solar power, biomass, landfill gas, geothermal and hydropower. |
05
How long do these systems work?
PV panels are warranted for 20 to 25 years for power output. Inverters are warranted for 5 to 10 years depending on the manufacturer. Because PV systems do not have moving parts, their useful life is estimated upwards of 50 years under normal conditions. Solar domestic hot water systems will last for upward of 20 to 30 years with the replacement of a pump, tank, or collector, possibly.
