Questions & answers

What is the effect of solar panels?

The effect of solar cells varies greatly, and there are several different factors that affect how well a facility produces. Here, we explain in more detail what factors are involved.

Manufacturers typically report efficiency ratings between 15-23 percent. This reflects how much of the solar energy the solar panels can convert into electricity. However, the actual efficiency in production varies depending on the conditions.

Below are some guidelines regarding the factors we consider. To determine how well-suited your property is, please contact us for an analysis.

  • Property characteristics

    Generally, solar panels should be installed facing south for optimal results, and it is highly advantageous if the property's design allows for panel placement in the exact right position. Additionally, the roof's slope plays a significant role; a low-sloping or flat roof generally offers greater adaptation possibilities with the help of the right mounting system.
  • Surroundings

    If there are several taller buildings, tall trees, or wooded areas in the vicinity, they may create a higher degree of shading and thus lower efficiency at certain times of the year. Furthermore, local weather conditions must be taken into account.
  • Electrical prerequisites in the building

    Some properties are more suitable than others for receiving solar energy. Older systems may result in lower utilization, although this is uncommon.

However, this should not be the deciding factor in choosing to build a solar power plant, as there are more factors than these that determine your prerequisites. You can read more in-depth about solar energy on our main page about the subject.

Quick facts about solar cells

  • The majority of solar panels originally come from Asia, but recently, panels manufactured within the EU have become more popular.
  • The first grid-connected solar panels in Sweden were installed in 1984 and still produce electricity today. However, these panels only have a 10% efficiency rate.
  • Through SBP, you get full monitoring via SLA and our control system Chargeflow.
