The word ‘hybrid’ in the field of green energy has been used to refer to two sources such as solar and wind. However, in the solar world, ‘hybrid’ refers to a solar power system that has both energy storage and connection to the electricity grid. The hybrid solar system is one of the three types of solar power systems (off grid, on grid, hybrid) that
You may have heard of 3 phase solar inverters and wondered what they might be. How are they different from the regular solar inverter? Three phase solar inverters are made for grid-connected properties with a
A power optimizer or solar optimizer is an electrical component that can be added into a solar power system. It is not a type of solar inverter, as it is often misunderstood to be. Instead,
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
It comes as no surprise that anything which is exposed to the outside environment all day long will get dirty. The same goes for solar panels. If you have a rooftop solar panel installed in your building, many of you won’t bother to clean it
The world is moving towards clean energy. And one of the most pristine and abundant one accessible to everyone is from the sun. Even though a full-fledged solar panel requires a hefty cost which can be beyond a middle-class family, all of us can build
The two main types of solar panels that are typically used for residential premises are monocrystalline solar panels and polycrystalline solar panels. While both function to produce solar energy, there are certain differences in these two types of solar panels. Monocrystalline Solar Panels Monocrystalline solar
