Safe solar investment: RS Energy’s earthing, surge protection
Your solar energy solution is a piece of costly machinery, made out of equally precious components like solar panels, solar inverters and batteries, which obviously don’t come cheap. Furthermore, the installation costs also make it quite a hefty addition to the investment that you’ve made in the energy future of your household.
As such, it is important to protect your investment from issues that threaten its reliability, performance or even its integrity. Enter power surges: any electrical system’s worst nightmare, including solar energy solutions.
Lets take a look at what surges can do to solar energy solutions, and how RS Energy protects your solar investment with its earthing processes and surge protection.
Power surges and solar solutions
Power surges and drops are equally dangerous for all sorts of electrical equipment; just ask why stabilisers were put into use, and why are they present in almost all Pakistani households.
The fact is that surges are dangerous with stabilisers present because an overflow of current into the equipment causes them to get overloaded, often resulting in blown equipment or short-circuiting.
Power fluctuations on the opposite side are equally dangerous; energy drops cause the equipment to get strained for energy, and as it tries to stabilise itself, the persistent fluctuation in voltage eventually results in the equipment exhausting itself, once again, resulting in a system failure.
Solar energy solutions are pieces of electrical equipment as well, and while they are considerably more sophisticated and well-equipped than your common household refrigerator or air conditioner, at the end of the day, if they are connected to the grid, there is a good chance that any interference or anomaly from the grid is going to affect them negatively.
Surges are the main antagonist in this story; there are many instances of high-power surges burning the wiring of the solar energy system, or worse, affecting the solar inverter or batteries.
However, the fact is that solar energy solutions are protected by a myriad of add-ons and features, that factor in such issues from the grid and protect the system against it.
Lets take a look at one of these earthing protections that RS Energy utilises to protect your investment from the adverse effects of such grid anomalies.
Earthing protection from RS Energy
One of the ways that the best solar companies in Pakistan like RS Energy protect a solar energy solution from spikes in voltages is by using earthing protection.
At its simplest, earthing involves routing excess current or voltage into the earth using extra wiring to divert the spiked voltage away from the system.
While the explanation makes it simple, its really not a simple process, and takes extensive time to prepare and install the earthing protection. But it is absolutely worth it, especially when an expensive piece of electrical technology is at stake.
Because if earthing protection isn’t available, it will usually result in dire consequences for the solar energy solution.
When connected to the grid, the solar energy system will face a lot of fluctuations in voltage, and most of them are negligible and don’t have any effect on the system itself.
However, it is the more severe fluctuations that can pose a serious threat to the physical integrity of the system, and this is where RS Energy’s earthing protection comes into play, helping deflect the current from the system, and instead route it to the earth where it can be safely discharged.
This protects the system from the rogue current, and in turn, disposes off the troublesome charge into the earth, safely, and without causing any issue to the system itself, or to the residents of the household, making the earthing protection from RS Energy the best surge protection for solar energy systems in Pakistan.
