Customers must look at all of this data combined in order to make a decision between two different or competing proposals. Each design or proposal may use different assumptions for the system design, energy generation, and energy costs over a 20 – 25 year timeframe.
Oil supplies are unpredictable, and energy prices remain high. This cost increase includes the rising cost of electricity flowing through the grid. Fossil fuels’ global supply is finite but with Solar Energy, the sun won’t stop shining.
“Storage” refers to technologies that can capture electricity, and then release it for use when it is needed. Storage allows the flexible use of energy at different times from when it was generated.
Solar Panel technology has been commercialized for over 60 years now since the first satellite powered by solar cells went to space in 1958. Thanks to recent advancements in physics, materials engineering, industrial technology and the implementation of global supply chains driving economies of scale
Inverters are the ‘heart’ of every PV system. Their main task is to convert the direct current (DC) from the solar panels into alternate current (AC) that can be used by loads onsite and be exported to the electric grid.
The vast majority of residential solar systems are installed on the roof. This is obviously the perfect place to install solar panels, because of its height (hence with the least amount of shade) and because very often already provides a tilt. The solar panels are installed on rails
36% of solar owners are likely to own an electric vehicle. Solar power is by far the cheapest source of electricity to charge EVs at home, so no wonder that is the trend. The last decade has seen phenomenal growth in the EV (electric vehicles) sector. From merely...
