SOLAR MODULES (OFTEN MISTAKENLY REFERRED TO AS SOLAR CELLS)
Photoelectric cells convert solar radiation into electricity through the photoelectric effect
VOLTAGE CONVERTER
An inverter converts direct current to alternating current (DC to AC)
PART IS CONSUMED IMMEDIATELY
As much energy as you use during generation – you use it for free (if this amount is sufficient)
EXCESS ENERGY IS TRANSFERRED TO ESO
You transfer the excess energy to ESO network for storage by metering it through the ESO meter
USE FROM THE GRID WHEN NEEDED
When a solar power plant is not producing energy, you use the energy you have supplied into the ESO grid for storage.
Before installing a solar power plant, you need to estimate how much electricity you consume per year. This data will help you determine how much solar power is needed to cover your electricity needs. For example: If your household consumes around 6000 kWh per year, you need a power plant of around 6 kW. On average, 1 kW produces 1000 kWh/year.
For the most efficient operation of the solar power plant in Lithuania, the roof should be facing south, south-east and south-west and inclined at an angle of 35-36 degrees (see the table below).
Lithuania receives enough sunlight to generate enough energy to meet your electricity needs. Our country is not much different from other European countries, such as. Germany, where solar power plants are expanding very rapidly, people there are also enjoying a similar amount of sunshine.
