Guides: choose the path that fits your situation
Information about solar energy is scattered and often contradictory. We have grouped our pages and articles into paths, according to what you want to find out. Choose the one that suits you and read the pages in the order suggested.
How to use the guides
Each path has between three and five pages, arranged in the order in which they are easiest to follow: first the principle, then the details that change the result, then the solution page. A path takes 15–20 minutes to read.
You do not have to read them all. If you already know what interests you, go straight to that path or to the solutions page. If you are just starting and do not know what you are looking for, the first path is the right one.
I want to understand how a photovoltaic system works
Start with the principle, then move on to real-world output and what happens in winter.
I am thinking about a battery
Understand the role of the battery and of the hybrid inverter, and what backup means.
I want hot water or more efficient heating
Compare the solutions for heat and see how they connect with the ones for electricity.
I want to see and control my consumption
From the bills to the app, then on to optimisation.
I live somewhere isolated or want an energy reserve
What you can realistically achieve and what you cannot, without exaggerated promises.
I am ready to do the numbers and request a quote
Three practical steps, in the order in which they are usually taken.
