Resources and guides
Clear explanations to better understand the choices involved in solar energy and storage.
The guides present the criteria needed to make an informed choice based on real-world use.
UNDERSTAND BEFORE CHOOSING
Available guides
How to choose a lithium battery for your use
Capacity, weight, voltage, self-heating and compatibility: priorities change with the project.
Discover the essential criteria for a home, cabin or RV.
Microinverters or central inverter: which should you choose?
These two approaches address different constraints.
Compare their advantages and limitations based on your roof, shading and planned system expansion.
Partial autonomy vs. complete autonomy
Should you keep the grid as a safety net or aim for complete independence?
Understand the practical differences, advantages and constraints of each approach.
The most common energy-autonomy mistakes
Oversizing, an unsuitable battery, overlooked climate conditions or incompatible components can compromise a project.
Discover the main pitfalls to avoid before investing.
How to size a solar system based on consumption
Annual consumption, target coverage and solar potential determine the capacity you actually need.
Follow a simple method to establish a realistic first estimate without oversizing.
Battery with or without self-heating: is it really necessary?
Cold temperatures limit lithium-battery charging, but not every project faces the same exposure.
See when self-heating is essential, useful or simply not a priority.
12 V, 24 V or 48 V: which voltage should you choose?
System voltage affects current, wiring, efficiency and component compatibility.
Compare the three architectures based on power level and use case.
Grid-connected solar: how net metering works
Your surplus solar energy can be exported to the grid and recorded in a kilowatt-hour bank.
Understand Option I, its 24-month cycle, advantages and limits before sizing your system.
GUIDANCE FOR YOUR SITUATION
Do you have a specific project?
