A very large percentage of the lifetime costs of rooftop solar go into its installation, as rooftop solar power systems have low operations and maintenance costs and zero fuel costs. As a result, there is a significant interest in the UK and elsewhere to know the latest costs of installation of rooftop solar power systems.
Rooftop […]
The cost of power generated from rooftop solar panels has been the subject of intense debate worldwide and in the UK too.
With cost of solar power fast decreasing, millions of residential and commercial units in the UK are interested to know the actual cost of rooftop solar power in the UK.
There are two costs, when […]
A very large percentage of the lifetime costs of rooftop solar goes into its installation, as rooftop solar power systems have low operations and maintenance costs and zero fuel costs.
Solar has come a long way since early 1980s, when the installed costs averaged to more 30 dollars per Watt .This, we know, mainly was due […]
Before looking into the benefits of rooftop solar for factories, let’s look at the deciding factors based on which this could be feasible.
Deciding factors:
Rooftop Area: Most factories have enough rooftop area to house a solar PV plant to meet a portion of their energy needs. In almost all cases this ample space available can […]
Hospitals both in urban and rural areas consume a lot of energy throughout the day as the electrical equipment used directly or indirectly to treat patients require uninterrupted power.
Many hospitals have considerable unused rooftop space. Combined with power shortages and rising cost of diesel, rooftop solar power makes a compelling case for implementation in hospitals; […]
Before we decide on the benefits of going solar for warehouses, let us discuss the deciding factors and how favorable are they for warehouses.
Deciding factors
Roof space: They have a whole lot of unused but accessible rooftop space. But the type of roof may be different for different warehouses. It could range from flat concrete roofs […]
Before we decide on the benefits of going solar for colleges, let us discuss the deciding factors and how favorable are they for colleges.
What are the deciding factors?
Roof space: Most colleges have ample amount of rooftop space available. And in most cases, this space is unused. Solar installations could provide productive use of this space.
Type […]
Before we decide on the benefits of going solar for schools, let us discuss the deciding factors and how favorable are they for schools.
Deciding factors
Roof space: In the case of schools, firstly it is important to define the type off roof that the particular school has. Although most schools have a flat roof, there are […]
Battery banks give a constant level of electrical power and stores energy produced from the large rooftop solar system (>500kW approximately) during the day and power appliances at night. For large scale rooftop solar systems, we need batteries with long, reliable life and low cost of ownership. Today’s batteries are better than ever before and […]
Factories have many energy-intensive processes like manufacturing,assembling,packing,repairing,testing,processing,etc. They typically are the higher end of energy consumption and usually end up with very high electricity bills. They usually have diesel backup to ensure continuous supply of power.
Solar PV systems in factories can help them reduce their diesel power consumption, depending on the time of use and […]
