Security cameras can be placed anywhere in and around a building or your home to secure it from all manner of unwanted intruders. However, corded security cameras become useless when there is a power outage. Having a lot of them in a large area also becomes very costly due to cabling. There are battery-powered security cameras but the batteries need regular charging or replacement, which
Is there a market for used solar panels? you ask. You would be surprised. The adage ‘one person’s trash is another man’s treasure’ holds true for used solar panels too. There is a thriving market
A solar pool heater in temperate and cold countries is certainly a boon. It extends the usable period of a swimming pool by preventing the pool from freezing up and by keeping the water warm
Building Integrated Photovoltaics, or BIPV, is a form of photovoltaic technology where solar panels are incorporated into parts of a building. The PV panels serve the dual purpose of generating electricity while serving the functions of those parts. BIPV is not a brand new solar
As the name suggests, a solar farm is a ‘farm’ that harnesses solar power on a large scale. It is also known as a solar park or solar power station. The difference from other conventional farms is that a solar farm’s photovoltaic arrays are in
Power plants can generate large amounts of energy in the form of electricity using a variety of resources. Some require raw materials such as coal, wood, fossil fuel, and metals such as uranium and plutonium. Some depend on the forces of nature such as moving
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
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 explored to expand on the possibilities of greater solar energy
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 solar power meter is a device that can measure solar
