Photovoltaique – Imeon Energy

Unlimited free electricity

The sun, the wind, the sea, etc., are sources of clean, inexhaustible and increasingly competitive energies. They differ from fossil fuels mainly by their diversity, abundance and potential to be used anywhere on the planet. They do not generate greenhouse gases – causing climate change – or polluting emissions.
A free and unlimited source of electricity is a positive energy, unlike traditional energy sources such as coal, gas, oil or nuclear energy which reserves are limited, clean energies like the sun adapt to natural cycles. Therefore, they come as an essential part of a sustainable energy system that allows current development without compromising future generations. In addition, their cost is steadily declining, while the general trend of fossil fuel costs is on an upward trend.
There are many ways to freely generate electricity from this unlimited energy. One of the most famous is solar energy. The sun is the most important source of free and unlimited positive energy on the planet. For example, if we take 100% of the light that Earth receives from the sun, in just an hour, we could cover the energy needs for all humanity during one entire year!
This solar energy, transformed into free electricity thanks to the photovoltaic inverters designed for self-consumption, is an alternative to save on the electricity bill, to reduce the energy consumption and to get free electricity in most remote places to our disposal.
The IMEON solar inverter, with its intelligent monitoring system, ensures at all times the balance between energy production and consumption with increased reactivity and reliability while optimizing the distribution of energy produced.
In addition to the demonstrated economic aspect, when accessing to a solar installation with batteries in to produce its own electricity (self-consumption – self-production), you are making a sustainable investment while contributing to the reduction of CO2 emissions and the development of a new, ineluctable energy model based on free electricity and positive energy.

Decreasing costs of solar

The cost of solar electricity produced by photovoltaic installations continues to fall. This decrease is mainly related to several factors, including:

the economies of scale associated with the increase in production volumes of all the components necessary for the operation of a solar installation,
improvement of the overall efficiency of solar system components, modules, inverters and batteries,
the arrival of IMEON hybrid inverters to the market, which increased the performance of photovoltaic installations with storage by up to 30%.

These distinct determinants have brought the cost of kWh produced by the solar system down by a factor of 4 in the last 5 years, thus making solar electricity prices competitive enough to reach grid parity.

We talk about grid parity when the price of a kWh produced by a photovoltaic installation becomes competitive with one offered by conventional energy suppliers.

Grid parity has already been achieved in many countries, such as Germany, which do not benefit from particularly generous sunshine. As the cost of fossil fuels continues to increase, the grid parity will gradually be reached all over the world and as a consequence, solar electricity will take a leading role in global energy supply.

Rising costs of electricity

Towards the free electricity …

The constant growth of the world’s population, the ever-increasing demand for electricity driving progress in the developing areas as well as the rising number of electrical appliances per household in the developed countries have significantly increased global energy demand.

On the other hand the volume of the available fossil fuels (oil, gas, uranium, etc.) declines. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA) assuming that the planets population will continue to rise at the current rate and reach 9 billion in the next 40 years, the reserves of gas and oil will fall by 40 to 60% by 2030.

As with all existing markets, a falling supply (reserves) combined with an increase in demand inevitably leads to the growth of prices.

Contrary to that, renewable energies by definition, have no supply limit. The energy from the sun is exploitable on the whole surface of the globe. It’s also, in essence, a source of free electricity.
