Many are familiar with photovoltaic cells, or solar panels, found on things like rooftops, spacecraft, and handheld calculators. The cells are made of semiconductor materials like those found in computer chips. When sunlight hits the cells, it knocks electrons loose from their atoms. As the electrons flow through the cell, they generate electricity.

We offer consultation to determine which solar systems best works for you. We review your immediate past 12 months electricity consumption to help us customize a solar solution that matches your needs. For industrial customers a customised Route3 solar system will be designed to reduce the MD component of the electricity bill and hence saving the entity money.

In the event of a blackout from the Utility, your inverter will automatically shut down for safety reasons if your system has been designed without battery back-up. Therefore, you will not have electricity until power is restored to the grid. For a system designed with battery back-up, the system will continue to supply selected loads in your home or business.

People decide to buy solar energy systems for a variety of reasons. For example, some individuals buy solar products to preserve the Earth’s finite fossil-fuel resources and to reduce air pollution. Others would rather spend their money on an energy-producing improvement to their property than send their money to a utility. Some people like the security of reducing the amount of electricity they buy from their utility, because it makes them less vulnerable to future increases in the price of electricity.

Route3 designed solar systems are able to provide power during a utility power outage, thereby adding power reliability to your home or business. Finally, some individuals living in areas where the cost of extending power lines to their home is more expensive, a Route3 solar package is the most cost effective way to have electricity.

Determining a suitable system is a lot more complicated than just looking at your historical consumption and choosing a system that will generate enough electricity to cover your usage. Be wary of any solar company that claims this is a simple calculation. Route3 has expertise and appropriate software and tools to design the solar systems that provides maximum returns on investment.

The correct orientation of your solar panels will make a significant difference to the amount of electricity produced. Route3 has the expertise to calculate the required angle and orientation to ensure maximum performance of the solar system installed.
