Nova Sun Power products

Photovoltaics (PV), or solar power, is used to convert the sun’s energy directly to electricity. From single cells used to power calculators to multi megawatt solar farms, PV has numerous uses in the modern world. In recent years the cost of PV has decreased dramatically, so much so, it is competitive with non-renewable energy sources like oil and coal.

A Photovoltaic (PV) system that uses micro inverters is the newest method to produce solar electricity. It is a Grid-Tied, Net-Metered system, but instead of having a single central inverter, there is one small inverter for every PV module. They are installed on the back of the module or on the same rails as the modules. The micro inverters convert the DC electricity from each module individually into AC electricity.

When the utility’s grid goes down, it is still business as usual for those with Photovoltaic (PV) systems with battery storage. This system is Grid Tied and Net Metered, using a battery based inverter system to process the energy. A group or array of PV panels are connected together in groups or strings, usually 3 panels. These strings or groups are all connected together in a Combiner Box which is located near the Array. The DC electricity from the PV panels flows through Combiner Box to a Controller/Regulator in the Inverter system. The Controller regulates the DC power to the batteries.

This type of Photovoltaic (PV) system provides electricity in situations where utility power is not available. An off-grid system is ideal for locations where grid connections are not accessible, such as cottages and remote home locations, or for anyone craving greater energy independence. Typically the PV system has a fossil fueled generator connected for back-up purposes. A group or array of PV panels are connected together in groups or strings, usually 3 panels. These strings or groups are all connected together in a Combiner Box which is located near the array. The DC electricity from the PV panels flows through Combiner Box to a Controller/Regulator in the inverter system. The Controller regulates the DC power to the batteries.

A wind turbine takes the energy from moving air mass and converts it mechanical or electrical energy. Micro wind turbines (

Using a Solar Hot Water (SHW) system is the most efficient way to capture the sun’s energy to heat water for use in your home or business. Small 1 or 2 panel systems are ideal for pre heating domestic hot water. Larger systems of 4 panels or more can be used to supplement in-floor heating or for pre heating in commercial or industrial applications.

A Solar Hot Air (SHA) system is the most economical way to capture the sun’s energy to help heat rooms or areas in your home or business. Small 1 or 2 panel systems are ideal for large rooms or entire levels in a house. Larger systems of 4 panels or more can be used to heat large homes or for use in a commercial or industrial applications.
