Benefits for System Owners

The Femtogrid Solar System is the solution for your solar PV system. It is:

• Smarter; added smart electronics mounted behind each solar panel boost the performance of your installation in produced kWh per system, log system output and pinpoint problems for quicker maintenance.
• A faster return on your investment; it lowers the payback time of your PV installation as it boosts the total performance of your installation.
• Easy to expand; it allows you to start off with a small number of solar panels that can be expanded over time by adding some extra solar panels to the existing PV system. As a result, it enables you to spread the investment costs over time.
• More cost-effective; every solar panel contributes its maximum level of energy and the available rooftop space can be used to its full potential, which means you’ll be able to install more solar panels to produce more power and grid-ready electricity.
• More freedom in design; due to the removal of traditional design constraints.

This last benefit is cleary pointed out by the upper 2 installations presented here below. The window dormer generates partial shading of the rooftop for the left upper installation, whereas the lamppost does the same for the right upper installation. With a traditional serial system approach this partial shading would have had a negative system effect on the total PV installation. In order to prevent the negative system effect System Integrators would advise System Owners to leave this space unused. Our parallel system approach solves this issue and enables to install more modules per given rooftop.

This same line of reasoning holds for the installation realised in the lower 2 installations. As our parallel system approach can support the usage of different rooftops in one PV system without experiencing a negative system effect for the total PV installation. In other words, the Femtogrid Solar System enables the usage of different orientations and/or angels to the sun in one PV system. 

This two features are a major improvement in comparison to the traditional serial approach of PV systems and increase the freedom to design a PV system on rooftops significantly.

Advantages compared to a traditional serial system approach:

Performance
+ Up to 30% more energy harvest (kWh) per PV installation
+ Solves the negative system effect of partial shading
+ All types of PV modules can be connected
+ Full roof optimalization
+ Remote system management

Reliability
+ Monitoring per PV module (optional)
+ Increased system uptime

Safety
+ Increased firemen/installer/system owner
+ Easy to disconnect PV modules and the total system

The Femtogrid Solar System is certified for the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, France, Spain, Italy and the United Kingdom and is now available via our dealers. The Femtogrid Solar System can be used for both new and existing PV installations.
