Photovoltaic solar power plants can generate enough electricity to power an entire neighbourhood or more, depending on its size and capacity, and more importantly its system. There are three types of systems used by solar farms: off grid, on grid and hybrid. These systems can be divided into two sub-categories: for home and for commercial use. A solar power plant installation consists of a few
Photovoltaic technology has been continually fine tuned since the early 1900s. Progress in technology has not only made photovoltaics more effective but also much cheaper for the masses to use. Newer semiconductor materials are being
Solar meters can indicate pyranometers, which are used to measure solar radiation flux density (W/m2), or any devices used to measure the kWh production from a photovoltaic (PV) system. What are solar power meters? A
In the modern-day, mechanical pumps serve a myriad of purposes. They can be useful in pond filtering, aquarium filtering, pumping oil, and other use cases. Traditionally, we have seen fossil fuel-powered pumps being the most popular resort for most people. In recent times, the tryst
The renewable energy industry is booming globally. The solar sector has seen a 49% of average annual growth rate in the past decade itself. One of the contributing factors for the rapid expansion of the solar market is due to the rise in solar farms
Solar power refers to the conversion of sunlight into electricity. One of the ways to achieve this is through photovoltaics, where a solar cell first absorbs the sun rays and then creates a current that is transferred to wires through the flow of loose electrons.
As renewable energy gets more traction, many people have come to realize its importance. Many see the need to invest and incorporate energy such as solar power in their lifestyles. And that’s made solar panels an important subject of study. Portable solar panels are now
Perovskite solar cells (PSC) have shown remarkable progress in the last few years. The improvement has been so steep that people now consider it as the rising star of the photovoltaic sphere. Perovskite is often used interchangeably with perovskite structure. The former is a mineral
The year was 1972 – Solar Power Corporation just saw the light of the day. And then, the year 1973 saw the birth of the Solarex Corporation and the first photovoltaic system for domestic purposes got the green light at the University of Delaware. These
