5 FAQs about [Solar energy microgrid Belize]
Will Belize Electricity compensate you for excess solar energy?
The hope is that through regulations, Belize Electricity Ltd will have to compensate you for excess solar energy flowing to the grid during the day and off-set it against the electricity you are drawing from the grid at night; however, the reality today is the opposite.
Is a grid-tie Solar System a viable option?
If your monthly electricity bill exceeds BZD 500 and your energy consumption is mostly during the day, then adding a grid-tie solar system with or without battery back-up is more economically viable than going completely solar off-grid. Will my grid-tie solar system stay on during a grid outage?
Should I use a grid-tie or off-grid Solar System?
A grid-tie solar system with battery back-up is the best solution if you are currently connected to the grid and want a solar back-up for grid outages. An off-grid solar system is the best solution if you do not have access to the grid and don’t want to depend on a generator only. Can I still utilize my solar energy during the night?
What is a grid-tie Solar System?
A grid-tie solar system is the best solution if you are currently connected to the grid and want to save on your utility bill. A grid-tie solar system with battery back-up is the best solution if you are currently connected to the grid and want a solar back-up for grid outages.
Does SESB offer solar air conditioners?
