Types of Solar Power systems
There are two main types of solar power systems based on whether they are connected to the grid – or not.
The grid-connected installation ensures you have the electricity you need, whenever you need it – automatically and regardless of weather conditions.
An off-grid solar power system is completely separated from mains power and is more expensive as it utilizes a battery bank for storing electricity generated by the solar panels. Off-grid installations are most common in rural areas of Hungary where the mains grid isn’t available or it is prohibitively expensive to connect to.
Where to place your solar system?
Place yourself exactly where the solar panels should be and bring a compass to get oriented exactly towards South. This is where you want your equipment to point. It’s important your head is in the same level as the absorber area, the solar panels. Hereafter turn your head to see if there are obstacles in the full path of the sun. Keep in mind the time of the year and how Summer and Winter has significantly different paths for the sun. The fewer obstacles, the more efficient your system will be working.
We recommend the angle of your absorber area to be close to 45 degrees. This will optimize the weaker ends of the season.

Hungary’s latitude is 47° 00′ N, above path is based on 45° 00′.
