Traditionally, solar modules are made by solar cells with 78*156 mm size. The solar cells are interconnected with ribbons and create strings within the module. Typically, standard PV cell is of 2 W with 8 Amp. current and 0.5 V voltage. It produces about 4 W power. Introduction of Half Read more…

While you decide to install a solar power plant at your rooftop, it is important to select right size of solar PV system. Here are 5 key considerations which you should consider while deciding the solar PV system size for your home or in your commercial building as per your Read more…

Tier 1 manufacturers are the companies in the quarterly Bloomberg New Energy Finance (BNEF) and is a flat term used by sales companies and manufacturers. “Tier 1 module manufacturers are those which have provided own-brand, own-manufacture products to six different projects, which have been financed non-recourse by six several (non-development) Read more…

Solar inverter is the heart of a solar system as it converts DC electricity into AC electricity. Typically apart from PV module, the largest hardware related expenses are done in solar inverters and accordingly it becomes important to select a right inverter for your rooftop solar application. There are number Read more…

The Mono PERC solar technology is recognised into activity by many solar manufacturers. PERC stands for Passivated Emitter and Rear Cell. This technology differs in term of solar architecture. However, the electrons are collected in top layer of solar cells. In PERC technology, an extra layer at the rear side Read more…

A solar still distills water, using the heat of the Sun to evaporate, cool then collects the water. There are many types of solar still, including large scale concentrated solar stills, and condensation traps (better known as moisture traps amongst survivalists). In a solar still, impure water is contained outside the collector, where it is evaporated by sunlight shining through clear Read more…

Building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) are photovoltaic materials that are used to replace conventional building materials in parts of the building envelope, such as the roof, skylights, or facades. They are increasingly being incorporated into the construction of new buildings as a principal or ancillary source of electrical power, although existing buildings Read more…

A significant amount of work goes into the complex process of designing and planning a photovoltaic (PV) power plant, whether on the rooftop of a building or ground-mounted on the field. This then translates into an efficient, working PV power plant in situ. With the rapid uptake of PV, it Read more…

Solar energy is radiant light and heat from the Sun that is harnessed using a range of everevolving technologies, such as solar heating, photovoltaics, solar thermal energy, solar architecture, and artificial photosynthesis. It is an important source of renewable energy and its technologies are broadly characterized as either passive solar or active solar depending on how they capture and distribute solar energy or convert it into solar power. Active solar Read more…
