Basics The solar photovoltaic On-Grid systems produces, converts and transfers solar electricity to local grid in 230/400V environment. Typical characteristic of an On-Grid system is the connecting and integration with a local electric grid. On-Grid systems can be used as source of electricity for homes or factories. The user can Read more
Basics A hybrid solar power system is combination of on grid solar system and off grid solar system. It has battery backup in it to store power and it also have the ability to feed surplus electricity into main grid. Hybrid system is fully automatic, programmable and custom engineer system. This allows a Read more
Basics An off-grid system is not connected to the electricity grid and therefore requires battery storage. An off-grid solar system must be designed appropriately so that it will generate enough power throughout the year and have enough battery capacity to meet the home’s requirements, even in the depths of winter Read more
Africa is both the world’s least electrified continent and the most vulnerable to climate change. And as the continent with the world’s fastest growing population, the decisions that African politicians make to boost power supplies could have an impact both locally and globally. The conundrum is how to meet the Read more
Researchers from Australia’s Western Sydney University have created a solar tile that includes phase-change materials (PCM) with a cooling function. They built the device by attaching 12.5 × 12.5 mm monocrystalline solar cells to a mortar roof tile that was doped with the PCM. To avoid leakage issues, they created Read more
