Electricity holds a critical significance in the economic growth of any country. Many nations are progressing rapidly, however if growth is to stay steadfast, the accessibility to a continuous supply of electricity is quintessential. In order to stimulate development in every sector, whether it is a large or small-scale manufacturing, education or healthcare, electricity is [...]
In the world of energy, especially the solar market, Building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) are rapidly becoming omnipresent and is widely used to replace conventional building materials in roofs and skylights. BIPV are basically photovoltaic materials which are incorporated into the construction of new buildings as a principal source of power. The advantage of integrating BIPV into [...]
Introduction With the gaining popularity and awareness of the multifold benefits of solar systems, one of the questions faced by many potential users is deciding on the capacity of the solar system. It is not wise to simply take a decision of the solar system capacity based on a general notion or just because some [...]
Most solar panels carry a 25 years warranty. This warranty is intended to protect and secure the customer’s solar panel investment so that they continue to get desired returns and performance from the implemented solar system. While high quality solar panels are supposed to be rugged, reliable and designed to withstand harsh outdoor conditions [...]
What is Net metering? Net metering is a type of metering methodology commonly used in solar systems in many countries around the globe. It allows residential and commercial customers of utility grid power to implement solar on-grid batteryless systems without having to worry what do with the extra power. Because net metering allows them to [...]
Parameter Consideration points Technology selection One of the first points in choosing the right solar panel is to make a selection from the range of solar photovoltaic technologies. There are 2 predominant technology categories today for solar photovoltaic panels. (a) Crystalline silicon. This has 2 further sub-categories i.e. Mono crystalline and Poly crystalline (Multi crystalline) [...]
