What is the solar system?

A solar system is an energy-generating system consisting of solar panels, an inverter, and other components that converts sunlight into electrical energy.

How does the solar system work?

Solar panels collect sunlight and convert it into DC (direct current) electricity. An inverter converts it into AC (alternating current), which is used by the devices in your home or business.

Does the solar system work on cloudy days or in winter?

Yes, solar systems can work on cloudy days and in winter, but energy production may be lower depending on the intensity of the sun.

How long does a solar system last?

Solar systems typically last 25-30 years.

Why install a solar system?

Reducing electricity costs
Big savings
Clean and renewable energy
Reducing carbon dioxide emissions
Environmental responsibility
Own electricity production, insurance against electricity price increases
Highly appraised property (increases property value)
Possibility to sell excess energy

What is a heat pump and what advantages does it have?

The main advantage of a heat pump is its high energy efficiency. It does not generate heat through combustion, but instead transfers energy from the surrounding environment, providing heating or cooling with minimal electricity consumption. As a result, it ensures long-term savings, safe operation, and year-round comfort.

Does the solar station need to be serviced regularly?

Yes, but it requires minimal maintenance.
Mostly cleaning the panels and checking the system.

What services does EcoVille provide?

Free maintenance for 1 year
Technical inspection
Cleaning work
Inverter, cables and connections inspection
Monitoring

How often should solar panels be cleaned?

1-2 times a year is enough.
Especially in dusty or dirty environments, more often.

What to do in case of failures?

Contact our support team.
We provide a fast response service within 24 hours.

How much does it cost to install a solar system?

The cost depends on the capacity of the plant, the complexity of the installation, and the quality of the parts and equipment used.
An exact price can be given after a personal inspection.

Are there any government subsidies?

Yes, there are a number of state subsidy programs in place.

Are there any special offers or flexible payment options?

Yes, we offer special packages, seasonal promotions.
Installment payment is possible through banks or credit organizations.

How long does it take to pay back the investment?

The investment in a solar system is returned on average within 4-5 years, depending on the productivity of the solar system, the uninterrupted operation and other factors affecting productivity.
If over time the tariffs for electricity from the ENA increase, the return period will be reduced accordingly.

Does a solar plant increase the value of a property?

Yes, having a solar power plant increases the market value of the property. Moreover, in addition to making a valuable investment, home or business owners start to benefit from free electricity, which significantly reduces monthly expenses.

What is an energy storage system and what problem does it solve?

A battery system, or energy storage system, is a device designed to store electricity and use it when the primary source—such as a solar system or the grid—does not provide sufficient power.

What problems does it solve?

Ensures uninterrupted power supply during outages or grid failures
Maximizes the use of solar energy by storing it for nighttime or cloudy days
Reduces electricity costs by allowing the use of stored energy during peak tariff hours
Supports environmental sustainability by reducing carbon emissions and dependence on non-renewable energy sources

Can I use a battery without solar panels?

Yes, it is possible.

A battery system can operate without solar panels if it is connected to the electrical grid. In this case, the battery is charged from the grid and provides stored energy when needed—during power outages or peak tariff hours.

This option is commonly used for:

Uninterrupted power supply (backup power) in places like hospitals, offices, or homes where continuous electricity is critical
Energy cost savings, by charging the battery during low-tariff hours and using it during high-tariff periods
Hybrid systems, where solar panels can be added later without replacing the entire system

How do solar panels and a battery work together?

Solar panels and a battery system together form a complete energy management solution that allows both electricity generation and storage.

How it works:

Solar panels convert sunlight into electricity (DC)
An inverter converts this direct current (DC) into alternating current (AC) for use in a home or business
When excess energy is produced, it is used to charge the battery
When solar production is insufficient (at night or during cloudy weather), the battery supplies the stored energy, ensuring uninterrupted operation
If the battery is fully charged, excess energy can be fed into the grid through net metering

As a result, the system enables more efficient use of solar energy by:

Reducing electricity consumption from the grid
Providing energy independence
Protecting against power outages
