Here are the most common questions our customers ask about solar energy.
Ecogreen Maldives supplies solar panels, grid-tied and hybrid inverters, batteries, mounting structures and hardware, DC and AC solar cables, connectors, protection and distribution equipment, monitoring components, and the other balance-of-system items required for complete solar installations. See our Products & Systems catalogue for the full category overview.
Yes. We can quote individual components, a coordinated supply package, or a complete design-and-install project. Share the required item, quantity, ratings, system voltage, and installation location so we can confirm a suitable option.
Grid-tied works with the utility grid and usually has no battery. Hybrid combines solar with battery storage and can support designed backup loads. Off-grid operates independently and requires batteries sized around the loads and required autonomy. Compare the options on our complete systems guide.
Yes. We supply complete grid-tied, hybrid, off-grid, commercial, resort, and marine solar systems. A package can include panels, inverter, batteries where required, mounting, cables, protection, distribution, monitoring, and related installation components.
Yes. We supply project-appropriate mounting structures and hardware, solar cabling and connectors, isolation and circuit protection, surge protection, distribution equipment, monitoring, and related balance-of-system accessories.
Useful details include the island or site, recent energy use or a load list, roof or installation area, grid and generator conditions, required backup loads and hours, and whether you need individual components, a complete supply package, or installation. If some information is not available yet, contact us and we will guide you.
Costs vary with system size, location, equipment, installation conditions, transport, approvals, and any battery backup requirement. A site-specific design and quotation is the reliable way to determine cost. Contact us with your location, electricity use or load list, available area, and backup needs.
Savings depend on daytime energy use, system size, solar resource, shading, equipment performance, electricity tariffs, net-metering arrangements, maintenance, and financing. We model the expected production and financial outcome for the proposed site; actual results can vary.
Payback depends on the installed cost, energy production, self-consumption, electricity tariff, maintenance, financing, and any changes to utility rules. We provide a project-specific estimate using the information available at quotation stage; it is an estimate rather than a guaranteed result.
Financing and power-purchase options depend on the project, current partner terms, credit requirements, and commercial structure. Contact us to check which arrangements, if any, are currently available for your project.
Net metering is a billing arrangement that measures electricity imported from and exported to the grid. The exact metering, credit, approval, available capacity, and billing arrangements depend on the applicable utility requirements. We can help prepare system information and coordinate the project process, subject to current rules. Check the Utility Regulatory Authority's energy regulations and the relevant utility's current guidance.
Solar panels are long-life equipment, but their warranty term, degradation limits, and expected output depend on the selected manufacturer and model. Check both the product warranty and performance warranty in the written product documentation before purchase.
Yes. Solar panels can generate electricity in diffuse light, but output is normally lower under cloud than under strong direct sunlight. A production estimate should use location-specific solar data and account for seasonal weather, shade, orientation, temperature, equipment losses, and downtime.
Maintenance depends on the site and equipment. Panels may need safe cleaning when soiling affects output; mounting, cabling, protection, ventilation, corrosion, alarms, and monitoring data should also be checked at the intervals specified for the system. Ask for a maintenance plan matched to the installation and manufacturer instructions.
Warranty coverage depends on the product, manufacturer, and written Ecogreen Maldives quotation or contract. Ask for the exact product, performance, workmanship, and local support terms for the equipment being proposed. We assist with warranty and support according to those written terms.
Product warranty addresses covered equipment defects under the manufacturer's written conditions and remedy. Performance warranty states a minimum panel-output curve over time and is not automatically a product-replacement promise. Duration, degradation limits, exclusions, labour, transport, and claim terms vary by product, so review the exact documents for the quoted model.
Installation and overall project time depend on design approval, equipment availability, island transport, access, weather, system size, site preparation, utility steps, testing, and commissioning. The project proposal should provide a schedule based on the confirmed scope rather than a universal timeframe.
Yes. Ecogreen Maldives has roots in ADh. Omadhoo, lists its office in Male', and supplies products and delivers solar projects across the Maldives. Transport, access, accommodation, installation, and commissioning requirements are confirmed for each location.
Yes. We supply solar equipment and complete systems for boats and dhonis. A marine design must consider the available area, onboard loads, existing battery and charging equipment, mounting security, salt exposure, and the vessel's electrical system.
