Introduction

You have probably heard about solar energy, and you might even be interested in installing solar panels. But how much does it cost to install solar panels? What else do you need to know? This guide will help you understand the basics of installing solar panels in Namibia so that you can make an informed decision on whether they’re right for your home.

How do solar panels work?

Solar panels are the part of a solar system that absorb sunlight and convert it into electricity. They can be thought of as batteries, but they have no charge limit—they’re constantly being charged by the sun. The size of your solar panel array depends on how much electricity you want to generate and use at home or on your business premises.

Energy efficiency

Solar power is the most efficient form of energy on the planet. For example, the solar panels that you will install in your home or business will be able to harness the sun’s energy and convert it into electricity at a greater efficiency rate than fossil fuels, wind turbines, nuclear power plants, and coal power plants.

The best part about solar panels is that they’re also one of the cleanest forms of renewable energy because they don’t produce any harmful emissions or pollutants when they generate electricity.

Solar energy components and system sizes

When it comes to solar panels, size is important. A smaller panel will have less power and a larger one more. Your energy needs will determine the size of your panel.

There are many types of batteries but most people use lead-acid or lithium batteries for their solar systems in Namibia because they are the most affordable and easy to install. Lead-acid batteries can be used with inverter systems or without an inverter system in remote areas where there aren’t many appliances that need power; however, this type of battery has a shorter lifespan than lithium-ion batteries so they don’t last as long when connected directly to an appliance like a laptop computer or television set unless you’re willing to replace them regularly (which can get pretty expensive). Lithium-ion batteries usually last longer than lead acid ones because they don’t lose their charge as quickly; however, they’re also more expensive so if cost is an important factor then you may want something else instead such as sodium-sulfur which isn’t quite as efficient but costs less money overall.”

Cost of solar in Namibia

The cost of solar in Namibia will depend on the type of system you install, as well as the size. A small-scale solar system might cost around $1,200. The larger your system is, the higher your cost will be—but it’s also more efficient and may produce more energy than a smaller one.

The price of solar power in Namibia is dependent on several factors:

• The size of your home or business
• Your budget
• Your location (e.g., if you have access to direct sunlight)
