Solar panels are the heart of a solar power system as they are the ones that generate electricity! The rest of the solar power plant is only to ensure that the electricity thus generated is converted and transported optimally. In addition…
What are Central Inverters?
Inverter, as we know, is the heart of every PV plant. It converts direct current produced by the solar panels and converts it into AC electricity which required by the appliances. In addition to this, it additionally monitors and controls…
What are Micro Inverters?
We know that solar panels produce Direct Current electricity. This needs to be converted to AC (Alternating Current) in order to power the appliances connected to the solar PV system. This is where the inverters come in. The types are:…
What is a String Inverter?
A solar inverter is an electronic equipment that converts the electricity produced by solar panel (DC power) to electricity that is sent to the utility grid or a household appliance (AC power). There are 3 kinds of inverters used in…
Why Batteries are Required for Large Scale Rooftop Solar?
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,…
Can I have 24×7 Power from Rooftop Solar if I Use Batteries?
Why we need batteries for solar PV systems? The vast majority of PV systems today are grid-connected. If the grid fails, power cannot be drawn from the PV systems even when the sun is shining. This is a precaution taken…
Can I have Rooftop Solar Panels without Penetrating My Roof?
Yes, there are mountings systems that offer non-penetration of the roofs for your rooftop solar. Traditionally the use of rooftop solar with penetration of the roof has been in practice for a long time. However, non-penetrating rooftop solar has emerged…
How Critical are Mounting Structures for a Rooftop Solar Power Plant?
What are solar mounting structures? Mounting systems can often be the most complicated portion of a solar PV system installation as they form the foundation of the system – they protect the modules, the roof and people over a lifetime…
How Do Solar PV Panels Work?
Before getting into how PV technology and panels work, let’s look at why we need this technology. With depleting and polluting fuel-based energy sources, comes an imperative need for an alternative clean and renewable energy source. Solar PV technology, like…
Can Batteries Be Required for Medium and Large Scale Rooftop Solar Power Plants?
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,…
