Solar PV<br />
RENEWABLES AND ENERGY SOLUTIONS<br />
<strong>WF</strong> <strong>Senate</strong> is your leading trade supplier of solar photovoltaic systems.<br />
We stock premium brands of all system components, and provide support<br />
from specification right through to installation on systems of all sizes.<br />
Solar PV Modules<br />
We have access to a wide range of leading brand modules each with its own level of performance and price. Being completely independent and not tied to<br />
any manufacturer we can help you choose the module that best suits your needs.<br />
Monocrystalline modules are made from cells containing a single crystal of<br />
silicon. Efficiencies are generally higher than polycrystalline types so they deliver<br />
more energy in low light. For this reason they tend to be more expensive.<br />
Available in wattages from 250W through to 315W from major brands including:<br />
PV String and Micro Inverters<br />
Often thought to be the brains of a solar<br />
installation, solar inverters play a critical role<br />
whatever the system size. Essentially they convert<br />
DC produced by the modules into AC suitable for<br />
both consumtion and for feeding into the grid.<br />
Today inverters often carry out additional functions<br />
– such as system monitoring – to ensure modules<br />
are working at their peak. From domestic single<br />
phase to three-phase inverters, we have ranges<br />
from your favourite brands.<br />
Polycrystalline modules contain cells made from many crystals – which<br />
gives them their shattered glass look. They are easier , therefore cheaper , to<br />
make than monocrystalline types and tend to be slightly less efficient.<br />
Micro-inverters simplify array design and<br />
installation since a single micro-inverter is used for<br />
each module, typically mounted with or alongside<br />
the module. Effectively this gives each module an<br />
AC output.<br />
The outputs of all micro-inverters are then<br />
connected in parallel. No larger, central string<br />
inverter is needed.<br />
Although they can make your installation more<br />
costly, micro-inverters give you more flexibility as<br />
they enable each solar module to perform to its<br />
maximum potential.<br />
Mounting Systems Accessories Added Value<br />
All roof, in, on, pitched or flat and ground mount<br />
solutions provided. We can even float your<br />
PV modules !<br />
Don’t compromise on module and inverter<br />
performance with poor quality accessories.<br />
Our cable , connectors and switch gear range<br />
undergo strict quality assurance testing before<br />
being selected.<br />
A complete range of products that will enhance<br />
your PV system offering, such as intelligent<br />
switches that divert excess power generated<br />
from PV to heat your hot water, IFTTT compatible<br />
monitors and more:<br />
