Solar panels work by harnessing the energy from the sun and converting it into usable electricity. Here’s a simplified process:

1. Sunlight hits the solar cells on the solar panels, which are made from semiconductor materials like silicon.
2. The solar cells generate electric current as the photons (light particles) from the sun knock electrons free from atoms in the silicon.
3. This current is direct (DC), which is then sent to a micro inverter that converts it into alternating current (AC), making it compatible with your home’s electrical system.
4. The electricity is used to power your home, and any excess energy can be sent back to the grid or stored in a battery for later use.

You can get all of the components required to install solar panels at home with our Robinsun Performance plugin solar kits. They are suitable for gardens, balconies, walls, roofs or pergolas in your home. Contact us if you are unsure about which suits you better. We also offer batteries to store your surplus energy. The latest models are integrated systems and more affordable than previous ones.

The benefits of solar panels go far beyond saving on your energy bills. Here are some of the most compelling reasons to invest in solar energy:

1. Cost savings

One of the most attractive features of solar panels is the potential for long-term savings. While the initial installation cost may seem high, most homeowners experience significant reductions in their energy bills. At Robinsun, our solar panels are very affordable with the best quality we can source on the market at any time. Over time, solar panels pay for themselves. With two Robinsun solar panels positioned at 20 degrees in Spain facing south, you are estimated to produce more than 1.600 kWh per year. Your yearly savings would be 1.600 kWh times the electricity price (average price in 2023 in Spain is €0,26) which equals to €426. The earnback time is the price of Robinsun solar kits divided by yearly savings which is below two years (€799 / €426/year = 1,9 years). That said, you enjoy free electricity for the rest of the 28 years within the warranty period, and your solar panels are likely to last a lot longer. In many cases, you can even sell excess electricity back to the grid. We also have the latest battery systems that help with storage if you don’t want to feed your surplus into the grid.

2. Environmental impact

Solar panels are a clean and renewable energy source. By using solar energy, you reduce your reliance on fossil fuels and decrease your carbon footprint. Solar energy produces no greenhouse gas emissions, making it one of the most environmentally friendly energy options available today. We are proud to have achieved a climate impact certification for our plugin solar kits. A plugin solar kit with two solar panels in Spain is certified to save 0,41t of CO2/year, for at least 30 years! They benefit you both in terms of savings on your power bills and in CO2 saved by producing your own solar energy. This certification, granted by certification company Impact Forecast BV, an independent and neutral third-party company, marks a significant milestone in Robinsun's journey toward reducing our customers’ carbon emissions and contributing to a greener future.

3. Energy independence

Solar panels allow you to generate your own electricity, reducing your dependence on the grid. This is particularly beneficial during times of energy shortages or rising electricity prices. With solar panels, you have more control over your energy usage and costs. 

When it comes to selecting solar panels, not all are created equal. To ensure you get the best quality and value, consider the following factors:

• Efficiency: Look for panels with a high efficiency rating which can convert more sunlight into electricity. At Robinsun, we work with top manufacturers around the globe. Our current solar panels have the highest efficiency available, above 23%. The first year power degradation is below 1% and the power degradation for the remaining years is below 0,4%. It means you will still have at least 87.4% of your initial production levels after 30 years. Our selection of solar panels will provide you with constant high performance throughout its service.
• Durability: Choose panels that are built to withstand harsh weather conditions and have a long lifespan. Our Robinsun solar panels withstand severe weather conditions and temperatures. They operate from -40°C to 85°C.
• Warranty: A good solar panel system should come with a comprehensive warranty to protect your investment. Robinsun solar panels come with a 30 years production warranty which is the longest time provided in the solar industry.
• Manufacturer reputation: Work with trusted, professional manufacturers who have a proven track record of delivering high-quality solar panels. Robinsun collaborates with leading manufacturers focusing on solar panels production. You are guaranteed the highest quality with us and our manufacturers.

Whether you’re looking to save money, reduce your environmental impact, or increase your home’s value, solar panels offer a powerful solution. With advancements in technology and growing affordability, there has never been a better time to make the switch to solar energy. At the heart of this transition is the commitment to a cleaner, more sustainable future. By investing in solar panels, you not only improve your own energy efficiency but also contribute to the global shift toward renewable energy.
