At Valueline Technology Ltd, the installation of Solar PV is the final stage of a comprehensive process. The process involve series of events beginning with client’s brief on requirements for solar PV system. Every stage in the process is carefully examined and suitable technical decisions are made that eventually result in a working robust solar PV system.
Some of the steps that we do carry out are:
i. Receiving detailed Client Brief
ii. Comprehensive site survey
iii. Reliable Design
iv. Proper choice of solar PV components
v. Installation of the designed solar PV System
vi. Testing the installed system
vii. Maintenance of the installed system
We Design for Reliability
The most important stage in solar PV system is the original design integrity. This encompasses two elements:
a) Installation Design – In this stage, we carry out a comprehensive installation considerations of the solar PV system. We consider among others the type of roof and whether the roof will be sufficient and strong enough to carry panels. We consider the direction of the roof, the inclination angle of the roof, and the presence of shading obstacles.
b) Product Design – Here, we consider the type and manufacturer of the solar PV components that we propose for the job. The types of the products must be the best suitable for the job. However, other factors such as the cost are also given serious considerations during the process. To ensure sound quality, we have partnered with world top manufacturers of various components of the solar PV system. These components have warranties and guarantees hence cofirming exemplary performance.
i. Structural and Electrical Installation Considerations
Solar PV system generates electrical energy, therefore knowledge of electrical installation is critical in proper solar PV installations. At Valueline Technology Ltd, our expertise, knowledge and experience in electrical installations is enormous. We easily understand the integration of solar PV and conventional electrical installation especially for grid-tied systems. When necessary, we do liaise with reputable structural engineers who assist in assessing the structural strength especially for roofs when solar PV is mounted on the roof.
ii. Safety and Maintenance
Solar PV can cause fire especially roof mounted systems. We consider this matter seriously in our design and we insist on measures that eliminates possibility of fires caused by solar PV. Continual performance of solar PV depends on the maintenance of the system. We offer annual maintenance contract to all our clients. During this period, we advise the client on the performance of the system.
