We are not yet publishing completed projects, and we will not present invented situations as projects. Until then, here are the typical situations in which people ask us about solar solutions, and the configurations we usually discuss in each one.
The applications below are indicative scenarios, not completed projects, and they contain no guaranteed results. Real projects, documented with the clients’ consent, will appear here once they exist.
Consumption is concentrated in the morning and the evening, while solar output peaks around midday. A battery or a hybrid system shifts part of the day’s energy into the evening.

Daytime consumption is higher, so the energy produced is used directly. Sometimes a system without a battery is enough, and the money saved on the battery can go into panels.
See also: photovoltaic panels, indicative calculation.
Consumption is low and irregular, and the grid may be weak. What matters is which appliances stay on while you are away, for example the fridge, the router or a pump.

Motors and pumps have start-up surges that call for a suitably sized inverter. The panels can be mounted on an outbuilding or on the ground, where the land allows.

Demand for hot water is high and seasonal. A solar thermal system can cover part of it, while photovoltaic panels cover the electricity used during the day.
See also: solar hot water, photovoltaic panels.
Consumption is concentrated in working hours, which matches solar output. Often no battery is needed, but monitoring helps to identify the large loads.

A fireplace with a heat exchanger, together with a buffer tank, can carry heat to the radiators and the hot water. The panels cover the electrical side, and the two solutions complement each other.
