Thinking about going solar for your home? There’s a lot to be excited about — being more energy-efficient, reducing your carbon footprint and potentially shaving a few dollars off your power bill each month. But something that’s not so exciting? The price Read More
As global energy demands continue to rise, the search for alternative renewable energy sources is more pressing than ever. Solar photovoltaic (PV) technology is one of the most promising alternatives, but a significant information gap exists in the PV module parameters provided Read More
Dominique dHotman, Head of ooba Solar shares that Installing solar panels on a sectional title property requires adherence to specific rules and regulations that don’t apply to freestanding homes. He unpacks the rules that sectional title homeowners need to know when it Read More
You’ve probably wondered what kind of magic in solar panels converts sunlight into electricity. It’s not magic. It’s science. Specifically, it’s the photovoltaic effect. This phenomenon relies on the interaction between sunlight and the semiconductive materials in the solar cells to create Read More
Trina Storage, a subsidiary of Trina Solar, has inked an agreement to supply battery energy storage systems (BESS) for four sites across the United Kingdom operated by international Independent Power Producer Low Carbon. The deal will see the deployment of systems capable Read More
Installing solar panels can lead to long-term savings as the life of a solar panel is around 25 years. The RESCO model, which involves zero investment for the house owner, could alleviate concerns about upfront capital costs. However, vendors have not shown Read More
Shiori Chen Implementing new solar energy policies has contributed to a substantial decrease in demand, causing concern for solar installation companies. “People are seeking cleaner alternatives to traditional fossil fuels and energy independence, especially with our grid quality and stability,” said Aleksei Read More
By Tim Schlee With alternative energies on the rise, self-storage owners must decide if, when and how they want to use them. Solar energy is a popular one, and it makes sense for many storage sites. Why not harness the power of Read More
PV systems, surpassing minimum load demands in various regions, necessitate innovative grid integration measures. Active power management (APM), notably curtailment, emerges as a powerful solution here. By actively managing power peaks, PV systems can unlock new possibilities, contribute to grid stability, and Read More
Some notable solar projects started operational in Southeast Asia last year. For example, the Indonesian state utility PLN and UAE state-run renewables developer Masdar inaugurated the 145MWac (192MWp) Cirata floating solar PV (FPV) plant in the West Java province of Indonesia. Europe also had Read More
