First of all, the answer to this question is yes. To know that solar energy is one of nature’s richest stores of energy, according to relevant data show that at least 5 billion years will not be depleted, human beings mainly through the solar energy system to use solar energy, for human beings whether solar energy is reliable or not you can start from the following aspects:
1. Solar energy system component equipment reliability
1.1 Reliability of solar panels
The reliability of solar panels can be reflected in its long service life, weather resistance, slow performance decay and low failure rate. Currently the most widely used monocrystalline solar panels are usually designed for a service life of about 25 to 30 years, of course, if the solar panel is in good condition, it can be used for a longer period of time, which can be seen in the solar panels can ensure that in the next 25 years of time to stabilize the absorption and conversion of solar energy.
Solar panels are extremely weather-resistant and can work in many harsh environments, including high temperature, low temperature, high humidity, etc. Take monocrystalline silicon solar panels for example, the surface of which has a uniformly distributed silicon crystal structure, which in turn makes monocrystalline solar panels have stable physical and chemical properties.
And monocrystalline solar panel surface has a layer of high-strength glass, this strengthened glass after heat treatment technology, and the thickness of the glass plate is about 3mm to 4mm, so that its mechanical strength is ordinary annealed glass 3 to 5 times, which greatly enhances the ability of solar panels to adapt to the environment, and the monocrystalline solar panels back panel material is generally used in the sealing of a good EVA adhesive film encapsulation, which allows It can work normally in the environment of high humidity, which increases its weather resistance to a certain extent.
Solar panel performance decay cycle is longer, and the degree of performance decay is smaller, which greatly enhances the reliability of solar panels, according to relevant data shows that solar panels in 10 years the degree of performance decay is about 10% or so, usually, the solar manufacturer can guarantee that your solar panels in the warranty time will not be more than 20% of the performance degradation, which also shows that even if more than the warranty time. solar energy will work fine to a certain extent.
The failure rate of solar panels is extremely low, according to relevant statistics, during the year 2023, the annual failure rate of solar panels is about 0.4%, the vast majority of which is due to the solar panels have exceeded the service life or due to external factors damage and replacement of photovoltaic panels, the solar panels themselves failures are few and far between, which can be seen in the reliability of its high.
1.2 Reliability of solar inverter
Solar inverter through continuous development and innovation, its stability is beyond doubt, first of all, the design life of the solar inverter is about 10 years, which indicates that the solar inverter can work stably for at least ten years under normal circumstances.
Secondly, the protection level of the solar inverter is at least IP65, which can reflect the solar inverter even in extreme environments can effectively resist the erosion of ultraviolet rays, water and wind and sand, so that the whole solar energy system can work normally, we should know that according to the relevant data shows that the failure rate of the solar inverter is only about 1%.
Finally, the solar inverter comes with some systems that can enhance its reliability, such as thermal management system, this system can promptly discharge the heat generated in the inverter, but also real-time monitoring of the inverter temperature and feedback to your cell phone, so that you can make timely adjustments.
1.3 Reliability of solar battery
Solar batteries mainly include lithium iron phosphate batteries, lead-acid batteries and nickel-metal hydride batteries. Take lithium iron phosphate batteries, lithium iron phosphate batteries can be cycled up to 6000 times, the service life of about 8 to 10 years. And lithium iron phosphate battery after continuous development, it can continue to maintain high performance in the whole day working condition.
For its mechanical strength, the solar cell is through the international certification (such as IEC 61215 and IEC 61730), which can ensure that the solar cell can cope with a variety of working environments. In short, the performance stability, high mechanical strength and low failure rate of solar cells can ensure that they can continue to work for you efficiently during their service life.
2. Wide range of applications for solar systems
Under normal circumstances, you can install the solar system anywhere, in other words, solar energy can be converted into electricity to power your equipment anywhere. You can find solar power systems anywhere in the world, even in Antarctica, where solar power is used to power research teams, which shows that solar power is one of the most reliable sources of energy for human beings.
3. Long-lasting benefits
Solar energy system can work for about 20 years, you know 20 years can save you a lot of electricity, even a 1kW off-grid solar energy system, if you are located in the area of peak sunshine hours for 4 hours a day, then a year 1168kWh of electricity.
From the perspective of all mankind, the large-scale use of renewable energy sources such as solar energy can reduce the use of fossil energy and effectively reduce the possibility of energy depletion, which has a far-reaching impact on human society.
Therefore, solar energy is a very reliable and necessary source of energy, both from an individual perspective and from the perspective of society as a whole.
