Do you have questions about any of our services?
We share some of the questions we receive frequently.
We share some of the questions we receive frequently.
Where are we located?
We’re located in Guapiles, Pococi, Limon; in front of the Caribbean Bus Terminal. Costa Rica
In what parts of the country do you provide services?
We offer support/services in all the country.
How can I save my electricity consumption?
FIRST: Become Led. The best and most efficient way to illuminate buildings, residences, gardens. Everywhere the LED can be applied. Eliminate all inefficient equipment. Ask us and we will advise you.
SECOND: Install solar panels.
THIRD: Check your electrical installation in general, you must comply with the NEC and that not only makes it safe, but also helps you save indirectly.
FOURTH: Automate your systems.
Can I install a photovoltaic system in my house?
Yes, each particular case must be studied, but ideally it is possible.
Is there a way to pump water with solar systems?
There are pumps that work with solar panels. They are direct systems. If you have pumping, ask us if it is possible to remove it and put a modern solar pump.
How much does a solar generation system cost?
It depends on the size of the system, this is measured in KWp (peak kilowats). The KWp of your system, are directly proportional to the kilowats-hour of energy consumed by you. That is a fact that you can find on your electric bill and it is essential to make a good calculation of your solar project.
The cost of the system recovers from 3 to 4 years, making it a smart investment that pays for itself.
What type of solar generation system suits me?
There are two types of systems, the one connected to the NETWORK and the independent one called Off Grid or autonomous. If you live far from the distribution network, you must make a system with batteries, this is the Off Grid. If, on the other hand, you already have electricity from a distributor, put your solar panels, you do not need batteries, this is the so-called “Connected to the Network”. Their energy generated in times that is not consumed, deposits them to the external power grid. Your meter turns upside down and counts energy as a credit in your favor, taking it at night or in rainy weather for example, at a much lower cost, this is called the access or net rate.
Can I feed three-phase loads where the electric service is only single phase?
Yes, it is possible; we build you a phase converter, from single phase to three phase.
Can I run an industry with solar panels?
Solar energy can handle large amounts of energy, size does not matter. If it is connected to the network, the systems are already producing huge savings. If, on the other hand, it is not connected to the electricity grid, because it is far away, inaccessible places, removed from urban services, it can also have its energy, in this case we use the batteries.
Can my house catch fire, due to my electrical system?
Most fires have an electrical origin, even solar panels work with direct current. This current is dangerous and therefore it must be ensured that its installation is done by a highly trained professional.
Can lightning burn my house?
Lightning can set your house on fire, just as it does in the forest when burning trees, which is why the electrical installation of your home must be done by a professional who installs the appropriate protections.
Can I invest better in solar panels, instead of making a high voltage extension to reach my project?
Yes, today the costs of batteries, solar panels and other equipment of this technology, have dropped a lot. We have already seen on many occasions projects that come out cheaper when implementing the solar option; that to carry laying of poles, to buy transformers, to obtain permits for cutting of trees by the sites of the laying of high tension, etc It is best that you always consult us before choosing to build a high voltage network to reach your project.
