Photovoltaics (PV) for your home
A variety of Solar and PV applications – depending on your needs
How PV Works
The smartest way to generate electricity out of sunlight
A photovoltaic or PV system utilizes the endless energy resource of the sun.
A PV module or solar panel uses semiconductor material, similar to computer chips, to transform sunlight into direct electricity current. This power generation process does not use any moving part and works even in areas with limited sunshine hours. The generated direct electricity current is then transformed into alternating current via a so-called inverter. The AC power can either be consumed on site, stored via a battery or fed back into the power grid.
To sum up - Photovoltaic (PV) is the smartest way to generate electricity:
- NO moving parts - very long lasting components
- NO noise - no disruption to your personal life
- NO fuel cost - once up and running there are no additional fuel costs
- Very robust components - no worries about repairs
- Energy generation at consumption place - no need for transmission lines
- Proven and Safe technology - benefit from your investment for 30 years or more
Remember: the sun will never send you an invoice for her energy!
Loadshedding draining you?
If you are ready for a new kind of electricity independence - solar power is the answer
Top quality IBC SOLAR PV systems offer you greater safety and quality of life thanks to maximum energy independence.
With IBC SOLAR energy solutions you will be turning into your own energy provider. Power failures, rising energy costs and poor service are now a thing of the past.
Solar Power Storage
Use Solar Power Even When The Sun isn’t Shining
Gain even more independence with IBC SOLAR's energy storage solutions -
Photovoltaic (PV) systems / plants supply you with electricity - as long as the sun is shining, but we offer clever systems to make sure that you don't experience downtime at night, either.
By combining our solar energy plants with batteries / storage units, you can store the solar energy you produce during the day and access it whenever you need it. So, even if your public grid supply is interrupted, you will still have power.
Our storage units are compatible with almost any existing system, so if you already own a photovoltaic (PV) system / plant, you can retrofit it with one of our batteries / storage solutions.
Hybrid Systems - Best of Both Worlds
Reliable Energy Solutions that are Environmental- and Budget-Friendly
We are investing in the future and protecting the environment by focusing on putting hybrid energy systems in off-grid regions where fuel-driven engines are used to supply electricity / power.
Using the sun's energy for normal operation and switching to diesel operation only when the Photovoltaic (PV) Solar system fails to supply enough electricity/power, cuts energy costs on a lasting basis and protects the environment, while providing a stable and reliable energy stream.
Photovoltaics (PV) can also be used, of course, to operate hybrid vehicles - simply charge the batteries via the PV system and save fuel.
Fully Off-Grid Independent Power Supply
Our Off-Grid systems bring Electricity to Isolated Regions
Energy provides security and convenience and makes lives easier all over the world. For this reason, IBC SOLAR supplies regions around the world (that are not connected to the power grid) with environmentally friendly solar energy. We provide a stand-alone power supply using off-grid photovoltaic (PV) systems. And our off-grid systems also help where power grids are unstable: they provide uninterrupted emergency electricity in case of power failure.
Our off-grid solutions are tailored entirely to specific requirements in each case and range from relatively small private solutions to supplying whole villages and delivering industrial solutions
More Applications for Photovoltaic (PV) Electricity
Clean Solar Energy has a wide variety of uses - Electric Cars, Electric Heating etc. Explore the possibilities!
Electric Cars offer cheap, emissions-free travel
Don't fill up - charge up! When you use solar energy for your electric car, you don't just make your vehicle more environmentally friendly - you also ease the strain on your wallet.
A free ride for the environment
Electric cars get you where you're going in an eco-friendly way.
- Even when using conventional electricity sources, you produce less CO2 than with gas-powered vehicles: just 0.5 kg CO2 per kWh.
- Charging your e-car with solar energy makes it an even more environmentally friendly option, reducing your small car's emissions to (0.0) zero point zero!
IBC SOLAR photovoltaic (PV) systems and storage (battery) solutions give you the perfect foundation.
Solar energy reduces your fuel costs
Electric cars don't just benefit the environment, they're also great for your budget.
- "Filling up" an e-car with grid electricity costs much less per "tank" than a comparable gas-powered vehicle.
- Using energy from your own solar plant makes it even cheaper. Win-win!
The Heat is On with Solar Power!
Generating Heat with Solar Power (hot water systems etc.) for more Convenience and less Cost
Your heat pump, heating elements or infrared heating units can link up perfectly to your solar plant, which will:
- Lower your operating costs
- Reduce your heat generation-related emissions
- Increase the amount of solar energy you consume yourself
