FAQ

What is a PV system?

A PV system basically consists of solar panels, cabling and an inverter. The solar panels convert sunlight to electricity and the inverter converts that electricity into electricity that fits to the numbers that your electrical equipment need to function well.

What will be my annual saving?

With current electricity prices so high, your system will pay for itself within 4 years in most cases. This means that your annual savings are about a quarter of your quote price.

What size system do I need?

Depending on your average electricity consumption, your roof size and future needs, the size of the system will be dimensionalised by our team. For an average home we will install between 6 to 20 solar panels. This corresponds to a power of 3-10 kWatts and an annual production of 4800-16000 kWh.

How long do the solar PV systems last?

Your solar panels will last for 30 years or more. Your inverter will last for between 10 and 20 years.

How much space does it require?

Depending on the shape of your roof you will need 5 till 10 sqm for every kWh installed. An average house will need between 25 and 50 sqm space.

What angle should I mount my solar panels? Where should it be facing?

In Cyprus, the angle of your solar panels are not crucial for the annual production of your PV system. If you install them almost flat (5 degrees) the PV system will produce most in summer. If you put them on 27 degrees the PV system will produce more in spring and autumn and a bit less in summer.

A solar PV system is producing the most if facing South. This does not mean that when your roof is not facing South perfectly it is not possible to install solar panels. JPB Solar Energy Cyprus has software that can calculate the yield of your system when facing in a different direction.

How does weather affect PV module output?

Of course a PV system produces most electricity on sunny days but also on cloudy days the PV system will produce electricity.

Can I get a PV solar system installed on my house for free?

It might sound strange, but the answer is yes. We can install a PV solar system on your house for free. In return we will charge you for the electricity produced by the PV solar system. Only we will charge you with a discount of 20% compared to the rates of the EAC. If later on you decide you want to own the PV solar system, JPB Solar Energy Cyprus will give you a compounded discount of 5% on the price we agreed on your contract.
