FAQ`s

A Solar system converts solar energy in the form of sunlight into electrical energy. It comprises Solar Panels, an Inverter, and a battery as a backup source(optional).  Solar Panels are made up of Photovoltaic (PV) cells which are capable of converting the light coming from the Sun into direct current (DC) power which is then converted to alternate current (AC) power using the inverter and then distributed to the electrical appliances.

Yes, we at Solway design customized solutions to cater our customer’s needs and meet their expectations.

Yes, off course, all such appliances can be run on the solar system depending upon the technology of the appliances and size of the system.

On a plain surface, the space requirement ranges from 110-150 sq. feet per kilowatt but these figures may vary depending upon the physical complications of the surface, tilt angle of the PV modules and the type of solar panel structure used.

In order to understand all the dynamics of the space provided, a detailed roof analysis is carried out before submitting the proposal. In case of concrete roof tops there is near to zero problems in bearing the PV modules. However, if corrugated steel or other rooftops are involved than we would require to examine the load bearing capacity of the surface.

Solway exists and works on values such as accountability, social responsibility, ethics and honesty. They are rooted in the very fabric of the business. The full financial viability of the IRR is then given to our clients, following a thorough site analysis, which indicates the payback period and the related financial information relating to the project.

A simple cleaning process is required to maintain the solar PV modules. However, the schedule of cleaning depends on the site dynamics which is suggested by the certified technical team of Solway.

Our sun is a magnificent source of energy, and the radiation it produces is either direct (Clear Sky) or diffused (Cloudy). Consequently, during the obscured sky, diffused radiation falls on your solar modules which may reduce the overall electricity production comparing to daily expected generation.

Normally, in case of Off-Grid and Hybrid systems the excess energy is being consumed by the batteries to charged them up but when they are already charged or specifically in case of On-Grid systems, all the excess energy would be sent to the utility grid by Net Metering.

Net metering is basically the process of exporting all the excess power produced in the form of units to the grid, it is being done using a bi-directional energy meter provided by the utility. For all the units exported in a month, the utility adjusts the units in the electricity bill but the customer can opt for reimbursement as per the utility’s policies.

Solway’s PV solutions have a life span of 25 years.

Yes, Pakistan falls under the category where the solar irradiance is at its peak which makes it one of the most viable countries for solar energy development.

• Low product quality.
• Unprofessional or untrained technicians commissioning the system.
• Poor design principles.

We are determined to provide you the services of qualified & trained engineers and technicians, by virtue of their experience we promise to deliver the best of work in terms of professional and safe installation practices, design principles and Tier 1 product quality.

Before being available for regular use, fossil fuels need to be excavated, refined and then transported which not only makes them expensive but a source of environmental degradation as well due to the processes involved. This gives Solar energy an edge due to its availability in ample amount, harnessing at almost no costs and leaving no carbon footprints for being a green energy.
