When it comes to choosing a solar inverter, there is no honest blanket answer. Which one is best for your home or business? That depends on a few factors: 1.How complex is your solar array design? If your solar array has many north-facing solar panels, you will likely have some shade mitigation issues. Those north-facing panels will receive less sunlight than panels with southern exposure. That le...
Last year, 137GW of renewable energy capacity was acquired globally through government tenders, up 10% year-on-year, despite industry headwinds, logistics tensions and an energy crisis. Solar photovoltaic power is the renewable energy source with the most winning bids through government tenders, reaching 61GW, accounting for 44% of the total. Solar’s share of global government tenders has de...
Photovoltaics plus energy storage have many benefits. First, it ensures a more stable and reliable power supply. The power storage device is like a large battery that stores excess solar energy. When the sun is insufficient or the demand for electricity is high, it can provide power to ensure continuous power supply. Secondly, photovoltaics plus energy storage system can also make solar power gene...
The Global Solar Council (GSC) and Global Wind Organisation (GWO) will collaborate to develop a set of standards for the world’s solar PV technicians, as they look to standardise qualifications for workers in the sector. The GSC noted that its Solar Training Standards Initiative would look to formalise training practices and qualifications for solar technicians, and deliver “reduced tr...
Advantages of photovoltaic installation in zoos Many people wonder: Is it feasible to install solar energy system in zoos? At present, zoos are facing unprecedented development opportunities in terms of self-transformation, self-development, and self-improvement. 1. Zoos consume huge amounts of electricity. Most non-native animals need to be kept warm or cold 24 hours a day. After installing distr...
What is Container Energy Storage? Container energy storage, also commonly referred to as containerized energy storage or container battery storage, is an innovative solution designed to address the increasing demand for efficient and flexible energy storage. These systems consist of energy storage units housed in modular containers, typically the size of shipping containers, and are equipped with ...
A stacked energy storage system is a technology that vertically stacks multiple energy storage units together to form a high-density battery pack, used to improve the energy density and power density of the battery pack. These energy storage units can be divided into two types: low-voltage stacking and high-voltage stacking. Low-voltage stacking usually refers to the vertical stacking of ene...
The solar industry is undergoing a monumental shift, rapidly moving away from passivated emitter and rear contact (PERC) technology to tunnel oxide passivated contact (TOPCon) technology. The advantages of TOPCon are clear: higher efficiency, improved energy yield, and significantly lower levelised cost of energy (LCOE) from reduced cabling, land, trackers and labour costs. TOPCon technology impro...
The rapidly growing photovoltaic power generation is facing increasingly serious cybersecurity threats. Recently, Japanese media reported the first cyber attack on a photovoltaic power plant. First publicly confirmed attack on photovoltaic grid Japanese media Sankei Shimbun recently reported that hackers hijacked 800 remote monitoring devices (SolarView Compact produced by industrial contro...
