Climate change is a real issue, and the burning of fossil fuels is one of the major causes. One alternative to mitigating climate change is using renewable energy sources; solar photovoltaics is one solution. In this technology, solar panels use sunlight to produce electricity. In this energy conversion, no harmful gases are released into the…
If you are thinking of going solar, one of the questions that might arise is whether to choose a single-phase solar inverter or 3-phase solar inverter. In this post, we will try to find the best possible answer matching your needs. What is a Solar Inverter? A solar inverter is a crucial component in a…
Gautam Solar is a Delhi-based solar company, established in 1998 under the leadership of Mr. (Er.) B.K. Mohanka. It has four factories in Haridwar. Recently, Gautam Solar announced that it is planning to increase its solar module capacity to 2 GW by 2024. This expanded capacity will manufacture solar modules certified under ALMM and BIS…
Interdigitated Back Contact (IBC) is one of the most advanced solar cell technologies that improves efficiency. The IBC cell technology captures more energy than conventional (Al-BSF: Aluminum-backed surface) solar cells, by minimizing the shading and increasing the light absorption rate. Hence, improving the cell’s efficiency. The rear side of the cell reduces the recombination losses…
TOPCON is the Tunnel Oxide Passivated Contact technology that Fraunhofer Solar Energy Institute Germany developed. It reduces the electron recombination rate at the surface, improving the cell’s overall efficiency. Technologies such as Mono-PERC, HJT, and Half-cut have enabled solar panels with efficiencies close to 22%. Contact passivation is one such technique that improves the solar…
The solar panels can be categorized as DCR and Non-DCR solar panels. Solar power installation has gained momentum in recent years. This is due to the steep fall in solar panel prices and improvement in solar PV technology. Now, it is common to see solar panels with efficiencies over 21%. Also, people are becoming aware…
Hello readers, A rightly sized Grid-tied solar power system can meet your energy needs through Solar Energy and maximize your savings. This system is connected to the grid through a net meter. It is a bi-directional meter that allows energy to flow between the solar power system and the grid. Although many of us are…
A 100-watt solar panel can be right choice for people interested in outdoor activities. The rising pollution levels and increasing awareness among people have generated interest in clean sources of energy. And solar PV technology is one of them. The solar panels in any solar power system do the most important energy conversion. They absorb…
A net meter is a device that allows the bi-directional flow of energy between the solar power system and the grid. It also keeps records of the net energy consumed by the user. It is used in the On-grid solar power system. How to read the net meter bill? It gives you the net energy…
Yes, the solar panels do work in cloudy day but their performance is reduced significantly. The solar panels are the main component in any solar power system. They act as an interface between the sunlight and our energy needs. They absorb the sunlight and convert it into electricity. When the solar panels are given proper…
