There’s a dark secret about the sunny solar industry.
It is not very profitable.
Surprised?
The surprise is justified: After all, you hear about the fantastic growth of solar sector. The world just crossed 200 GW in installations. It is already a $100+ billion industry worldwide. And is getting bigger, faster. India vows 100 GW by 2022. China ups the […]
I was quite excited to read about a rather unique combination of renewable energy technologies
“Array Technologies(ATI) has announced the commissioning and completion of the tracking system for the 71 MW Red Horse 2 combined wind and solar project, which is expected to provide power for 13,500 Arizona homes.
The plant generates energy from Vestas V110 wind […]

The markets for storage and inverters are evolving along with the overall solar power system.
As the market for solar power expands, so will those for inverters and batteries.
I read a useful article on the intersection of solar, batteries and inverters at Solar Power World. This article says that “Optimizing […]
Summary: Single junction solar cells have just one p-n junction, as against multi-junction solar cells, which have more than one p-n junction
Solar cells generate electricity owing to the presence of p-n junctions. What is a p-n junction, what are single junction solar cells, and how are they different from multi-junction solar cells?
The conventional solar cells […]
Summary: Keeping track of progress and problems at a large solar farm is a full time job. Software-based solar power plant monitoring systems facilitate continuous monitoring and reporting for these farms.
Why do we need monitoring for a renewable energy source like solar?
Some might argue that we don’t. We cannot anyway control a natural resource such as sunlight, so […]
