Ecology
The energy that can be derived from the sun is our future. Whilst the age of mineral oil may be extended a little longer, even oil industry lobbyists admit that the more economically produced mineral oil will be used up in just a few decades. By contrast, the sun represents an inexhaustible energy source.
Therefore, our future greatly depends on our being able to successfully tap into it and by doing so we will be able to survive without fossil fuels. There is no question that solar energy is already making a very significant contribution to the long overdue turning point in our energy economy. At DAKO POWER, we are ready to take it to another level.
Contemporary energy is regenerative energy and regenerative energy is reliable energy. Energy for all - worldwide.
Solar power - comparisons show it to be unbeatable
The conventional generation of electricity places a huge strain on the environment. Even the building of a power station will consume vast amounts of energy. On top of this, there are the permanent emissions and other harmful substances, not to mention the unsolved problems of waste disposal from nuclear power plants.
Solar electric technology has a crucial advantage here because every minute on the power grid improves the overall ecological balance. After all, solar energy significantly reduces the amount of carbon dioxide and other pollutants in the atmosphere. Even the installation of solar power facilities uses limited resources. Within three years, a solar plant will recover all of the energy used in its construction.
The overall positive energy balance will be determined by the efficiency of the module, the orientation of the system and the quality of the system.
For Universal well-being
It is silent, environmentally friendly and produces no waste. Consequently, solar energy is becoming increasingly appealing. Whether it is to be derived from the roof of a school or as a so called stand alone system, far removed from a national power grid.
Human beings nor animals will not be harmed by solar power systems. In any way whatsoever. Furthermore, the technology is perfectly integrated into the architectural environment. Undoubtedly, renewable energies promise great potential for our future and will surely replace conventional energy sources in the foreseeable future.
Solar power systems separate from the power grid
In the case of so-called island systems without grid connection, the direct current generated by solar panels is either used immediately or stored in a battery, to supply electrical appliances with power.
The essential difference between DC and AC systems is that DC systems do not convert the direct current. This means that they are lower in cost but require special direct current consumer appliances. Therefore, they are suitable for camping vans, garden huts, boats etc.
AC systems include an inverter, which converts the battery current into the regular alternating current used in the power grid. Consequently, AC systems are suitable for normal AC appliances in, for example, hospital wards, schools or houses, which are not connected to the power grid.
- Solar panels JUTA Solar panels guarantee especially high energy yield and reliability.
- Solar charge controller or Charge regulator Protects the battery from over-charging and deep discharging. May also comprise many additional functions such as timer switch.
- Battery Stores the generated solar power which is fed in.
- Inverter Converts direct current from the battery into alternating current as used in the power grid.
Solar power systems feeding into the power grid
In the foreseeable future Eskom will be forced to follow suit and implement power input remuneration like the rest of the developed world.
All electrical current produced from sunlight is fed into the public power network. This simple process involves the solar modules producing Direct Voltage which is converted directly into 220V Alternating Voltage or 400V three-phase voltage. This then flows into the mains supply.
As a capital investor, you will be able to profit from this thanks to the principle of power input remuneration.

- Inverter Converts direct current from the battery into 220V alternating current.
- Input meter Accurately counts the kilowatt-hours generated and fed into the power grid.
- Meter measuring own use Documents your household power consumption.
