Good reasons to choose solar power

Making the most of the sun

A photovoltaic system generates electricity on your own roof. But today, it can do far more than just supply electricity for domestic use. The solar power you generate can be stored, used to charge an electric car or to power a heat pump.  
A smart energy system can balance generation and consumption. And with a suitable backup power solution, self-generated energy
can remain available even in the event of a power cut from the public grid.

Photovoltaics thus become an important part
of a household’s energy supply.

What matters most to you? Discover six good reasons to choose solar power.

Reducing electricity costs

Buy less electricity. Use more of your own electricity. This is how solar power can help.

Becoming more independent

With photovoltaics, your home transforms from being merely a consumer of electricity into a generator of it.

Storing solar power

The solar panel system generates energy during the day. However, electricity is also needed in the mornings, evenings and at night.

Staying connected during a power cut

A photovoltaic system automatically continues to supply the house with power in the event of a power cut – using backup power and a storage system.

Driving
a car on solar power: from your own roof straight onto the road.

An electric car needs electricity – and some of it can come directly from your own roof. With a smartly integrated wallbox, surplus solar power can be used specifically to charge the vehicle. 

This turns solar energy into mobility and makes the electric car an integral part of your own energy system.

Generating
heat with solar power Your own energy for a warm home.

A heat pump requires electricity to harness environmental energy for heating and hot water. With photovoltaics, some of this energy can be generated directly at your own home. Smart energy management helps to better coordinate solar power with your heating requirements.

In this way, your own roof not only supplies energy for household appliances – it can also contribute to your heating needs.

Staying
powered up during a power cut Your own energy – even if the grid goes down.

A standard photovoltaic system does not automatically continue to supply the home in the event of a power cut. However, with a suitable inverter, battery storage and an automatic backup power solution, self-generated and stored energy can remain available even if the public grid fails.

In this way, photovoltaics also become a key component in ensuring the security of supply for your own home.

Start today. Think ahead tomorrow.

Perhaps you simply want to reduce your electricity bills to start with. Perhaps you’re already planning to get an electric car or a heat pump. Perhaps a battery storage system or a backup power supply is particularly important to you.

A modern energy system therefore doesn’t have to be able to do everything right from the start. What matters is that it meets your needs and can evolve alongside your home. KOSTAL combines inverters, battery storage, energy metering, charging infrastructure and smart interfaces to create just such a system.

This means you can start with photovoltaics today – whilst keeping your options open for tomorrow.
