Overview of solar power systems

 
Function of solar power systems

Solar power systems, also known as PV Systems, mainly consist of a solar module, inverter, distribution cabinet, monitor system, and battery.

Solar panels can be installed on rooftops (rooftop type), surface of fields (ground type), or surface of water (floating type). After a solar panel receives sunlight, it transfers the light into direct current, and turns the current into alternating current via an inverter, while the distribution box supplies the electricity to indoor electric appliances. The monitor system collects data from the inverter and transmits it to the cloud via wifi, enabling users to view data on the electricity through smartphone, tablet, or computer. (To learn more.)

投資太陽能發電如何獲利?-目前政府採用電能躉購制度(Feed-in Tariff, FIT)來獎勵推動再生能源設置。與台電簽約並通過能源局備案審查後,20 年內皆保證以固定費率售電給台電每年穩定獲利,年投資報酬率可達 6~13%,且各地縣市政府另有提供系統設置補助。
 
How does solar energy improve environment?

Solar energy is a renewable energy resource. Every kWh produces 35g of CO2. In Taiwan, every kWh from a coal-fired power plant produces 528g of CO2. Therefore, replacing coal with solar energy could reduce greenhouse gas, thus slowing down global warming.

太陽能發電如何幫助環境?-太陽能為再生能源,其每度電的碳足跡約為 35g 的二氧化碳。而在台灣,燃煤發電每發 1 度電就會產生約 528g 的二氧化碳,因此,用太陽能代替燃煤發電可以減少溫室氣體的產生,就能減緩全球暖化
 
How to profit by investing in solar energy?

Currently the government supports FIT (Feed-in Tariff) to promote renewable resource facilities. After contracting with Taipower and reporting to the Bureau of Energy, the company will sell electricity to Taipower at a fixed rate for 20 years. The annual profit is stable, with annual ROI of 6-13%. The investment can be paid in 9-10 years. Local governments also provide subsidies for establishing such systems.

Regarding installation of solar power systems
Would a solar power system produce noise and electromagnetic waves?

A:Solar power systems do not generate noise during operation. A solar panel of 20,000 kilowatts would only produce the same number of electromagnetic waves as an ordinary appliance (such as computer), which is vastly lower than the environmental limits of the EPA, and does not endanger the human body in any way.

Does solar power produce no pollution?

Solar power systems produce no pollution during operation. However, during manufacturing, industrial waste water and gas could be produced, which the factory by law must control to safe standards (waste water and gas disposal). The production of solar panels is like that of semiconductors, albeit without the production of the frontal tip of reticle mask. The production of such frontal tip tends to result in waste gas and toxic water which could result in cancer. Therefore, the pollution it produces is less than semiconductor manufacturers. In addition, compared to traditional coal-fired power generation (thermal power), solar power systems create less than 90% of the air pollution caused by coal-fired generation, even adding in pollution during production.

Would a typhoon damage solar panels?

Solar panels are supported by steel or aluminum framework. The structural design has been approved by technicians. The durability of the structure can handle natural forces like typhoons.➤➤➤To know the construction method

How long would it take from signing a contract to ful operation of a solar power system?

In addition to design and construction, applications must be submitted to Taipower, the Bureau of Energy, and Construction Management Offices of local governments. The installation could take 1-3 months depending on the projects scale, while from signing the contract to the full operation of system takes three to six months. After three months of documentation, selling can begin. ➤➤➤To know the detailed procedure

Can it be installed on an apartment building?

1. It can be processed through Regulations for Condominium Management
*Article 31: Host a meeting of unit owners and receive the agreement over conference. (Two thirds of the units’ owners must be present, while more than three quarters of participants must agree to it.)
*Article 32: Re-summon the assembly if the agreement is not reached according to Article 31. Three owners of the property and one fifth of residents must be present, while over half of participants have to agree upon the settlement.
*Article 33: Installation on rooftop should be approved by the owner of the level.
*According to Article 34, the notification will be sent to the owners of units 14 days after the meeting. Exclusive usage must be clarified. Note: rooftop should not be considered exclusive.
2. Areas without management committee may follow the regulation of Civil Law.
