How does a home photovoltaic system work?

A home photovoltaic system captures solar energy and converts it into electricity for use in your home. Photovoltaic cells, made of silicon, produce a direct current when exposed to sunlight. This current is then transformed into alternating current by an inverter, making the energy compatible with your electrical appliances.

This simple and effective process allows you to reduce your dependence on traditional energy suppliers and generate clean, renewable electricity directly in your own home.

How much can I save with a home photovoltaic system?

Photovoltaic panels can significantly reduce your electricity bills, with savings of up to 70% depending on your consumption and the size of the installation.

By generating your own energy, you also protect yourself against price hikes, while quickly recouping your investment. At Vectura, we’ll help you optimize your energy yield and get the most out of your photovoltaic panels.

Frequently asked questions about installing photovoltaic panels for private customers

We are frequently asked these questions...

  • How do photovoltaic panels work?

    Photovoltaic panels convert solar energy into electricity using silicon cells. This electricity can be consumed directly or fed into the grid.

  • Is my house in Wallonia suitable for photovoltaic panels?

    In Wallonia, a well-facing roof (ideally south-facing), with a pitch between 30° and 35° and no shading, is perfect. A personalized study will determine the potential of your roof.

  • How much can I save with photovoltaic panels in Wallonia?

    You can reduce your electricity bill by up to 70%, depending on your consumption and the size of your installation. What’s more, you’ll benefit from greater control over rate fluctuations.

  • What is the average lifespan of photovoltaic panels?

    In Wallonia, as elsewhere, photovoltaic panels have an average lifespan of 25 to 30 years. After this period, their yield remains stable, but slightly reduced.

How much does a photovoltaic panel cost?

The cost of a photovoltaic panel for the home may vary according to a number of criteria, but it represents a profitable investment in the long term thanks to the savings you’ll make on your electricity bills. Here are the main elements to consider when estimating the cost of your installation.

Factors influencing cost

System size: The larger your photovoltaic system the more energy it will produce. The number of panels you need depends on your annual consumption and the size of your roof.

Panel quality: name-brand panels offer better performance and longer life, but are slightly more expensive.

The specifics of your roof: A well-oriented, easily accessible roof reduces installation costs. On the other hand, a complex roof or one requiring adaptations (such as reinforcement) may entail additional costs.

Ancillary equipment: Inverters, storage batteries and monitoring systems add costs, but maximize the efficiency and autonomy of your installation.

What is the average budget for an individual?

On average, a photovoltaic system installation costs between €8,000 and €12,000. This range includes the purchase of panels, the necessary equipment (inverter, wiring) and installation labor. For specific projects, such as adding panels to an existing installation, the budget varies according to compatibility and the adjustments required.

Profitability and depreciation

Although the initial investment may seem high, photovoltaic panels for photovoltaic panels for private customers quickly pay for themselves through savings on your energy bills. In Wallonia, the payback is generally between 5 and 7 years.. What’s more, incentives such as green certificates for photovoltaic installations installations over 10 kW and certain local bonuses can lighten your budget.

How much photovoltaic power do you need to be self-sufficient?

To become self-sufficient in energy thanks to a photovoltaic panel for private useIt’s essential to estimate your energy needs and choose the right system. The power required depends mainly on your annual consumption, the size of your roof and the amount of sunshine in your region.

Evaluate your energy needs

For complete autonomy, your photovoltaic production needs to cover all your electricity consumption. On average, a family consumes between 3,000 and 5,000 kWh per year. This consumption determines the number of panels needed and their power. For example, for a consumption of 4,000 kWh, you’ll need around 16 panels of 375 W each, for a total power of 6 kWp.

Take into account the space available on your roof

The size and orientation of your roof directly influence the power you can install. A roof with a good southern exposure and no shading will maximize energy production with less power. On the other hand, for a less exposed roof, you’ll need to consider a more powerful installation to compensate for the lower output.

Couple your panels with storage batteries

To achieve real autonomy, it is advisable to couple your photovoltaic panels for private use with storage batteries. This will enable you to conserve excess energy produced during the day for use in the evening or during periods of low sunlight.

Choose a custom installation

Since every household has its own specific needs, a personalized assessment is essential to determine the ideal photovoltaic output. At Vectura, we analyze your needs and your roof to design an installation perfectly suited to your goals of energy autonomy.
