Frequently asked questions from Reneco customers

During its professional activity, the Reneco company has implemented many projects using energy-saving technologies, renewable energy sources and classical heating systems. In this article we will present the most common questions that our clients ask us. So, let's go!

Duration of installation of a solar power plant for a home

The duration of installation depends on the volume and complexity of the work. For example, installation of a solar power plant with a capacity of 30 kW takes on average 5 days.

Is it possible to increase the capacity of a solar power plant in the future?

Yes, you can. This is a common practice. For example, one of our latest Customers planned the installation of a solar station with a capacity of 30 kW in two stages: the first stage included the installation of a solar inverter and photovoltaic modules with a total capacity of 10 kW, the second stage included increasing the generating part to 30 kW.

How long does it take to register the Green Tariff

According to the law, the procedure for registering a “green tariff” for private solar power plants after submitting all the necessary documents is 3 weeks. However, in practice this period can take up to 8 weeks. For legal entities, the registration process is more complicated and lengthy; the consideration of the issue will take from 6 weeks.

How to choose solar panels?

What can I say, rarely has anyone encountered solar panels in everyday life before the desire to become energy independent and its implementation. Of course, there are many nuances in this matter, such as: manufacturer, panel type, panel efficiency, warranty period. We answered this question in more detail in our blog article, which can be found here.

How to choose an inverter for a solar station?

An inverter is an important part of a solar station, because this device converts the direct current received from solar panels into alternating current. In order to correctly select such equipment, at a minimum, it is necessary to determine the power of the station, as well as its type: autonomous - for ensuring guaranteed and backup power supply, hybrid - for autonomous, mixed or backup power supply and network - for selling electricity on a “green” basis. » tariff. The manufacturer of such equipment is no less important, since in their work they must take into account such factors as: input/output voltage, rated and peak power, cooling system, efficiency, appearance. Over many years of work in the alternative energy market, Reneco specialists have in one way or another encountered most of the existing manufacturers and will be happy to give recommendations on which one will be better and why.

Lifetime of solar panels

A popular question among our clients, because the cost of solar panels makes up the lion’s share of the cost of a solar power plant. The service life is determined by the degradation coefficient of solar panels, which depends on the quality of the product. The Reneco company cooperates only with trusted manufacturers who provide a long-term warranty on their products - from 12 years for the photomodule itself, and a linear performance guarantee - at least 80% of power after 25 years.

Cost of a turnkey solar station

The cost of a turnkey solar station includes the following services: site visit, design of a future solar installation, accurate calculation of solar energy generation using professional software, supply and installation of equipment and materials, launch, assistance in obtaining a feed-in tariff. On average, the cost of 1 kW is $500.

How much does a heating system cost

The cost of both a classic heating system and a heating system using alternative energy sources depends on the complexity of installation and the selected equipment, because it is no secret that each object is unique. It is impossible to answer this question with a specific number, so contact us to provide accurate information and goals.

What is a heat pump's conversion factor - COP?

A heat pump's conversion factor (COP) measures its efficiency. It is determined by the amount of generated thermal energy compared to the consumed electrical energy required for its operation. The higher the COP of the heat pump, the lower the operating costs.

Why do you need a heating system project and can Reneco implement it?

Of course, for small houses whose heating system consists of one gas boiler and four convectors, a heating system project may not be necessary. But if we are talking about more complex systems, the project is simply necessary to provide for:

Placement of all equipment and elements of the heating system
Integration of the heating system with other utility networks
Reduced installation costs due to the purchase of properly selected equipment

The design department of Reneco has extensive experience in the implementation of heating, water supply and sewerage projects, which are carried out using modern computer-aided design technologies.
