Ukuba nejeneretha elindile yekhaya lakho kuyindlela enhle kakhulu yokuqinisekisa ukuphakelwa kukagesi okungaphazamiseki phakathi nokucisha kukagesi okubangelwa iziphepho, izingozi, noma ukulungiswa kwezinsiza. Ijeneretha yokulinda ingena ngokuzenzakalelayo lapho ugesi omkhulu wehluleka, igcina izinto zakho ezisetshenziswayo ezibalulekile namasistimu esebenza kahle. Kodwa ngenxa yezinketho eziningi ezitholakalayo emakethe, ukukhetha ijeneretha efanele yendlu yakho kungaba yinto enzima kakhulu. Nazi ezinye zezinto ezibalulekile okufanele uzicabangele lapho wenza isinqumo sakho.

1. Thola Izidingo Zakho Zamandla

Isinyathelo sokuqala siwukuhlonza isamba somthwalo kagesi owudingayo ukuze ugesi uma ucisha. Cabangela izinto ezibalulekile njengesiqandisi sakho, isiqandisi, isistimu yokushisisa/yokupholisa, izibani, iphampu yomthombo (uma ikhona), nanoma yiziphi izisetshenziswa zezokwelapha ezidinga ugesi. Engeza izidingo zokudonsa amanzi zalawa madivayisi ukuze uthole isidingo sakho esiphelele samanzi. Lokhu kuzokusiza ukuthi unqume usayizi omncane wejeneretha oyidingayo.

2. Usayizi weGeneretha

Amajeneretha alindile akalwe ngama-kilowatts (kW). Umthetho ojwayelekile wesithupha ukukhetha ijeneretha ekwazi ukuphatha amandla angaphezu kuka-30-50% kunesidingo sakho esiphelele sokusebenzisa amandla ukuze sibhekane nokuqaliswa kokusebenza nokunwetshwa okuzayo. Isibonelo, uma isidingo sakho siphelele singu-10,000 watts (10kW), ijeneretha engu-15kW noma engu-20kW kungaba yisinqumo esihle.

3. Uhlobo Lwamafutha

Amajeneretha alindile angasebenza ngamafutha ahlukahlukene, okuhlanganisa uphethiloli, i-propane, udizili, negesi yemvelo. Uhlobo ngalunye lukaphethiloli lunobuhle kanye nokubi:

• Uphethiloli: Kulula ukuwuthola futhi awubizi kakhulu kodwa udinga ukugcwaliswa kabusha njalo futhi ungawohloka ngokuhamba kwesikhathi.
• I-Propane: Ukushiswa okuhlanzekile, mancane amathuba okuba okonakaliswe, futhi kuphephe kakhulu ukuyigcina kunophethiloli, kodwa kungase kubize kakhulu futhi kungabi namandla kakhulu.
• Udizili: Isebenza kahle kakhulu, ihlala isikhathi eside, futhi ingakwazi ukusingatha imithwalo esindayo, kodwa idinga isitoreji esikhethekile futhi ingase ibize kakhulu.
• Igesi Yemvelo: Ihlanzekile, iyafaneleka (uma ikhaya lakho selivele lixhunywe kulayini wegesi yemvelo), futhi ayidingi ukugcwaliswa, kodwa ingase ikhawulwe ngokutholakala kwezinye izindawo.

4. Izinga Lomsindo

Amajeneretha alindile angakhiqiza amazinga ahlukene omsindo, kuye ngosayizi wawo kanye nomklamo. Cabangela indawo yejeneretha yakho kanye nokuba seduze kwayo nezindawo zokuhlala lapho ukhetha eyodwa. Uma umsindo uyinkinga, bheka amamodeli anezici ezinomsindo omncane noma cabanga ukufaka ijeneretha kude nekhaya lakho.

5. Dlulisa Shintsha

Iswishi yokudlulisa iyingxenye ebalulekile yesistimu yejeneretha elindile. Ishintsha ngokuzenzakalelayo isistimu kagesi yekhaya lakho isuke kugridi yensiza iye kujeneretha futhi ibuye futhi lapho amandla ebuyisiwe. Qiniseka ukuthi ijeneretha oyikhethayo iza neswishi yokudlulisa ehambisanayo noma ingahlanganiswa kalula neyodwa.

6. Iwaranti kanye Nesondlo

Hlola iwaranti enikezwa umenzi futhi ucabangele izidingo zesikhathi eside zokunakekelwa kwejeneretha. Amanye amabhrendi anikeza iziqinisekiso ezinwetshiwe noma izinkontileka zokulungisa ezingakongela imali ngokuhamba kwesikhathi. Ukunakekelwa okuvamile, okuhlanganisa izinguquko zokuhlunga, izinguquko zikawoyela, nokuhlolwa, kubalulekile ukuze kuqinisekiswe ukwethembeka nempilo ende yejeneretha.

7. Izindleko

Ekugcineni, cabangela isabelomali sakho. Amajeneretha alindile angahluka kakhulu ngentengo, kuye ngosayizi wawo, uhlobo lwamafutha, nezici. Nakuba kulingeka ukonga imali ekuthengeni kokuqala, khumbula ukuthi ijeneretha yekhwalithi ephansi ingase ibize kakhulu ngokuhamba kwesikhathi ngenxa yokulungiswa njalo noma ukungasebenzi kahle.
