Upgrade your Solar system to Hybrid installation

Upgrade your existing PV system with SolarDuo Plus, the thermal module that makes PV systems hybrid and increases the electricity production.

Becovillage has developed the Ultimate hybrid modul to upgrade existing PV systems and make them ultra-efficient hybrid solar systems.

A cutting-edge solar energy solution for your home or business that combines the PV system with a highly efficient thermal module to make the whole system Hybrid , when required also with an integrated micro inverter.  SolarDuo®plus is the only Thermal module (panel) to make PV systems hybrid in the market worldwide. These thermal solar modules make existing Pv system up to four times more efficient than any other solar system just like SolarDuo hybrid standard modules do. Because each PV system is producing less energy when hot in summer our thermal module (panel) makes it possible to cool the whole system. Additionally combined with our thermodynamique (heat pump) solar water heater we make it possible to produce hot water and heating day and night, summer and winter. The ultimate system upgrade would be with integrated micro inverter for even more power where shade or other obstacles would be limiting energy production. SolarDuo, SolarDuo AC, SolarDuo plus and SolarTrio the ultimate solar system is at your doorstep awaiting for you to open the door and let it in. Zero energy homes are possible at reduced cost with our advanced and largely proven technology.

More as 12000 systems installed allready worldwide and 8MW of systems to be installed till today.

Last installations done in Belgium as example with module brands, Bisol, Sharp, Yingli solar, STP, ET solar, Sunrise solar, and many more.

Benefits

  • Easy to install: installation proces is up tu 40% faster compared to the combination of normal Photovoltaic Modules, Solar Thermal panels, and Inverter.
  • Simplifies system design: with SolarDuo® AC panels,  the DC to AC conversion is made by the panel it self and is scalable over time.
  • Improves your energy harvest: with SolarDuo® AC, the power optimization is at the panel level
  • Increased performance: Each individual micro-inverter performs Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) to optimize its panel’s performance under conditions of varying sunlight and temperature. While centralized inverters also have MPPT capabilities, they average the performance of an entire “series string” of connected PV modules. This means that if one panel in the group is shaded, dirty or not working, it degrades the performance of the entire string. In conditions that are less than ideal, the micro-inverter may increase performance of the overall array.
  • Monitoring:  With SolarDuo® AC you can see at every second detailed energy monitoring of each individual panel, in your PC, Smartphone, Ipad...
  • Backed by the SolarDuo® AC 20 year warranty, to guarantee your investment.
  • Start small, add on later: SolarDuo® AC Hybrid solar panels make it easier to start small and add more panels later on, giving you flexibility to expand your system by as many panels as you’d like when you’re ready. Since your solar power system does not need to be sized according to the energy load of a typical basement-mounted inverter, you can add just one or two panels, or several more. It’s that simple. 
  • No single point of failure in the system: When a centralized inverter fails, your whole system shuts down. With the distributed nature of the micro-inverters, if one of the AC solar Panels fail, the others continue to operate.

 


Becovillage´s SolarDuo® AC uses three advanced technologies to maximize the capture of energy from the sun and four technologies to maximize the efficiency of the whole system.

  • The first capture the heat generated by the sun and uses it to produce hot water, heating or HVAC.
  • The second, cooled photovoltaic cells, increasing the production of electricity by up to 30%.
  • The third, Converts DC electricity to AC, within the same panel, thus increasing the energy harvesting by 5% to 22%.
  • The fourth, thermodynamic (integrated heat pump) solar water heater with COP 3.55 for heating and hot water , day and night, summer and winter.
