We understand solar energy to be an important alternative energy source to our daily living - but what are the ways we can utilise this on the everyday? Solar energy remains one of the most sought after alternative energy sources today, especially in the face of climate change and rising global temperatures. Many governments are making specific moves to phase out of using fossil fuel energy,...
On June 2, the Tarim Oilfield Branch of PetroChina announced that Tarim Oilfield had officially built 98 photovoltaic power stations in the hinterland of the Taklimakan Desert, realizing green irrigation on desert roads and completely saying goodbye to the history of diesel engine power generation irrigating vegetation on both sides of desert roads. Tarim Oilfield said that since January this year...

What Are the Benefits of Storing Solar Energy? Storing this surplus energy is essential to getting the most out of any solar panel system, and can result in cost-savings, more efficient energy grids, and decreased fossil fuel emissions. Storing solar energy has a few main benefits: 1.Balancing electric loads. If electricity isn’t stored, it has to be used at the moment it’s gener...
One of the most frequently asked questions by people interested in solar panels is at what time of the year is it more profitable to install a photovoltaic module for self-consumption. In reality, these types of installations pay for themselves over time. Any time is a good time to invest in it.

Imagine you’re home on a stormy night, watching TV with the washing machine running, and all of a sudden the power goes out. Now imagine the same scenario, except you have a rooftop solar energy system with battery storage. When the power goes out in your neighborhood, you’d be blissfully unaware. A common myth about solar power is that you can count on it only when the sun is s...
As heat waves become increasingly frequent, people are starting to ask whether PV systems can cope with such high temperatures. Inverter failure If an inverter becomes too hot, it usually switches itself off or reduces its power to such an extent that the higher ambient temperature does not harm it. This is known as temperature derating. The number of possible causes further reduces the percentage...
Let's just say that the high temperature has driven people crazy. Some people even thought of buying solar energy to power their air conditioners. Under this kind of weather, the UK's solar power generation reached 66.9 GWh in one day in July, which can meet 8.6% of the country's demand. Germany is said to have reached a new single-day high of solar power generation. Could it be said that extreme ...
As more and more people turn to clean energy, you may have heard that solar energy can benefit the environment in many ways. One of the most common benefits of solar energy is that it reduces carbon emissions and our reliance on non-renewable resources like fossil fuels.
