Searching for Solamy or So.ar Panels? Here's What You Need to Know

Have you ever found yourself searching for terms like "solamy panels" or "so.ar panels" or even "solarny panels"? You're not alone, and you've come to the right place. These are common typos for one of the most important renewable technologies available today: solar panels.

This guide will explain the typos before diving into how solar panels work and how you can get the most from your solar panel system.

Decoding the Typos

In the world of fast typing, mistakes are common. "So.ar" is a classic keyboard slip, as the 'L' key is right next to the '.' key. "Solamy" is often the result of an overzealous autocorrect function. Regardless of how you spell it, the solar technology you're looking for is designed to harness the sun's energy.

"You may type ‘solar’, ‘so.ar’ or even ‘solamy’ you’re looking for a better way to power your home. To me that’s what matters. We’re focused on building the best solution and it’s great to see so many people searching for it, typos and all."

The Real Deal: How Do Solar Arrays Work?

A set of solar panels installed on your property is often called a solar array. These panels are the core of a solar PV system (photovoltaic system), which is different from solar thermal systems that simply heat water. A solar PV system is designed to generate electricity.

The process begins when sunlight hits the rooftop solar panels. Here’s a simple breakdown:

1. Capturing Solar Radiation: Each solar panel contains many solar cells, also known as PV cells. These cells are made from a semiconductor material. When solar radiation from direct sunlight strikes these cells, it creates an electrical circuit.

2. Generating DC Electricity: This process generates DC electricity (direct current). This is the initial form of solar energy produced.

3. Converting to AC Electricity: Your home's appliances run on AC electricity (alternating current). A crucial component called a solar inverter converts the DC power from the panels into usable electricity for your home.

This entire system allows you to produce electricity from renewable energy sources, reducing your reliance on power stations that burn fossil fuels and lowering your carbon footprint.

Maximising Your Solar Panel System

A well-placed solar array, often on a south facing roof, can generate power very efficiently, especially on clear days. However, even with some cloud cover, solar panels generate a surprising amount of electricity.

The problem is that during peak daylight hours, your system might generate more electricity than your property needs. This excess solar energy (or surplus electricity) is typically sent back to the National Grid. Your energy supplier will pay you for this, but usually at a much lower rate than you pay to buy it back later.

To achieve true energy independence and really lower electricity bills, you need a way to store energy. This is where a solar battery comes in.

How We Can Help

At Volta Eco Systems, we specialise in advanced solar energy systems that pair solar panels with battery storage.

• For Homes: The PowerPod, Our PowerPod is an all-in-one residential system that stores your excess solar energy for when you need it most. It’s managed by the intelligent ECOS app, which automatically optimises your electricity usage to maximise savings. Crucially, it also provides a seamless backup electricity supply, keeping your home running during a power cut.

• For Businesses: The PowerCore Our PowerCore BESS helps businesses slash their operational costs by storing vast amounts of energy generated from their solar system. This allows for "peak shaving," using stored energy during expensive peak hours to drastically reduce energy bills. The system is built with world-leading CATL battery cells and is rated Tier 1 by Bloomberg for ultimate reliability.

So, whether you're searching for "solamy panels" or want to understand how much electricity your system can produce, the goal is the same: affordable, reliable power. Pairing solar with a battery is the smartest way to achieve it.
