It is fact that the adding insulation reduces the heat gain. However, there is a increment in the cost to do so. But the cost of amount of energy that can be saved by adding insulation is comparatively higher than Read more
There are many PV module suppliers in the market, and if we assess the different characteristics of the PV module, it becomes challenging to compare the different suppliers and do the apple to apple comparison. Obviously, there are technical as well Read more
PV modules in case of large-scale power plants are selected based on the integration of modules, voltage and current rating with the inverter voltage and current rating. Typically for a grid connected plant the inverters operate in the voltage range Read more
Glazing in building facade plays a very very important role. The requirement of glazing is to enter the light and fresh air and also offer view to connect interior living space to the outdoor. However, glazing and windows are major Read more
Solar PV technology is rapidly advancing every year and applications are identified for specific use. One of the latest development is the introduction of flexible solar cells and modules. Traditionally, solar cells are flat and non-flexible type if they are Read more
Net Metering allows solar consumers to supply access power back to the grid and reduce their electricity bill. It is a crucial policy decision by any state providing net metering facility. Without it, the widespread penetration of solar rooftop is Read more
Climate Zone Map of India Climate Zones The first step in following the ECBC is determining the appropriate climate zone of the building site which willdictate the specific requirements for design and construction of the buildingsystems and components. India possesses Read more
The SHGC and U-factor ratings are the most important items to verify during inspections. Building professionals should verify that the ratings of the installed windows, doors, and skylights meet or exceed the ratings specified on the plans. It is also Read more
The sun emits visible solar radiation in the form of light and infrared radiation that cannot be seen, but causes heat. Spectrally selective glass transmits a high proportion of the visible solar radiation, but screens out radiant heat from the Read more
Low-e stands for low-emissivity and refers to a special coating that reduces the heat transfer of a window assembly. Low-e coated products that reduce solar heat gain can be produced by adding a metallic coating either while the glass is Read more
