What changes are necessary in my home if I am to install a photovoltaic system?
NONE. The photovoltaic panels can be placed on the roof or anywhere in the surrounding space of the house (i.e. ground, garden), the batteries and the control board with all the necessary electronic parts (charge controller, inverter, fuses) are placed in the house or somewhere else (i.e. garage, storage room) where they do not bother nor do they take up a lot of space.

How much space does a photovoltaic system occupy?
The surface of photovoltaics is usually small for autonomous systems. A suggestive size if the following:
1KW (power installation) = 8,5 sq m
For the batteries, depending on the space the dimensions and the weight vary.

Does a photovoltaic system operate both winter and summer?
Our systems are designed to operate with the same level of reliability and efficiency, both in the summer and winter. The photovoltaic pannels produce energy even when there are clouds from the infra-red rays.

What is the life duration of a photovoltaic system?
The photovoltaic panels have a rendering up to 25 years and the batteries last depending on their type and their usage. Indivatively , solar batteries 2 Volt-Solar last longer than 10 years.

Do P/V panels resist to difficult conditions?
They are made in such a way so as to resist to all weather conditions, even to the harshest ones (rain, snow, hail).

Is a photovoltaic system safe?
Its function is totally silent and all its components are recyclabe. The electricity it produces in small lighting systems is 12 or 24 Volts while σε συστήματα με μετατροπέα τάσης 230 Volt the electricity is inductive (meaning that even in the case where you touch naked wires you do not get electrocuted).

Will my appliances work properly?
Your electical appliances will work beter than with the electricity of the power house or the generator. The voltage is stable and completely safe.

How much power can a photovoltaic system have?
There are no limits - from small collectors for lighting to industrial applications.

Is the installation of a photovoltaic system legal?
According to the draft is is legal to install a photovoltaic system and anyone can be producers of electric energy. Up to 20 KW no special, written permission is even required. Furthermore the electricity house is OBLIGED to buy the surplus of electric energy produced by photovoltaic systems in grid tie connected systems with a 20 year contract.

Are photovoltaic systems subsidised?
For the private sector according to the new Development Draft which will be put in application as of Jan 01, 2007 there will be tax tax exemption up to 20% whilst for companies, autonomous or grid tie connected are subsidised from 35% up to 50% in the periphery of the mainland country.

How much does a photovoltaic system cost?
For every single system a study is done and a cost results according to the energy needs that will be covered from the specific photovoltaic system.
