Often it happens that you wish to put up solar panels on your rooftop but don’t want the entire space to be taken up by them. It is exactly due to this that many residences and commercial establishments are interested…
How beneficial are solar panels on parking lots?
Solar canopies over parking lots have emerged as an innovative solution for many business enterprises, hospitals, retail stores etc. to go solar. Solar carport solutions can be offered to a customer with a pre-existing carport structure as well as customized…
Will solar with battery storage disrupt the solar power market?
Is it a good idea to go for hybrid inverters for your rooftop solar solution?
Can rooftop solar plants also deploy solar trackers like the ground-mounted solar farms?
In ground-mounted plants, solar trackers are very common and help direct the solar panels along the direction of the sun thereby increasing production while reducing LCOE over its lifetime. But, why are solar trackers on rooftops very rare? Solar rooftop…
What benefits do solar-wind hybrid systems bring along with them?
Highlights Economically speaking, solar-wind hybrid has the potential to save about 7-10% in capital investments owing to the synergies The potential reduction in energy from the hybrid power plant is likely to be in the range 2-3% below the cumulative…
What are flexible solar panels and what benefits do they offer?
Flexible solar panels or rather cells are an innovative solar technology that is largely at the research level currently. They are a lightweight solution to conventional solar panels which are bulky and may often be hard to install. In conventional…
How can transparent solar panels be a big boost to solar on tall buildings?
In urban areas, there are a number of tall buildings which have so many window panes on it. Imagine a scenario where all the windows are able to produce solar power with the windows still serving their purpose of letting…
What are Perovskite solar cells? Why are they getting increasingly attractive in a C-Si dominated PV market?
What are multi-junction solar cells? Are they more efficient?
Multi-junction solar cells are solar cells with more than one p–n junction. Each of these junctions is made of different semiconductor materials. Conventional solar PV cells comprise just one layer of semiconductor cells, each with one p-n junction. Yes, multi-junction cells are…
