Although when many think of solar energy, they picture solar panels on rooftops, there are in fact many different types of ways solar panels can be mounted. And If you are limited on unshaded roof top space, and have large land available, a ground mounted solar panel system might be the solution to your energy needs. Although most residential homes don’t necessarily have spare land, ground m...
In a world where power can be accessed from everywhere, is it important to know what an off-grid solar inverter is? What are the advantages of using one, and how does it work? What is an off-grid solar inverter? Solar inverters are useful devices that can help power off-grid systems. The three main solar inverters are grid-tied, off-grid, and hybrid inverters. A grid-tied inverter converts D...
The Modern Energy Way With Solar Systems Solar panel systems are becoming more and more popular. Not only do these installations provide clean and sustainable energy that is much more efficient than traditional sources such as coal or natural gas, but they also have the potential to reduce your monthly electricity costs. Affordable Bills and Rates As mentioned above, solar panel systems have the p...
In order to understand how much electricity your solar panels can generate and how this might change over time, we need to understand the performance and efficiency of the solar system. • Solar system performance measures how much energy your solar panels are producing at any point in time or over a period of time (such as a day, a week, or a month). It is usually measured in watts (a unit of...
For businesses and homeowners that have made the switch to solar energy, there may come a time when you want to upgrade your system.

Solar power is the most opted source, with many homesteads, offices, and institutions moving towards solar energy. It is the cheapest of all renewable energy sources. What happens when your solar panel produces more power than you need? The solar power harnessed by the PV panels is in DC. With most appliances using alternating current, having a PV inverter to convert power from DC to AC is necessa...
The vertical tilt, or angle, at which the solar panels are installed in a photovoltaic system will have an impact on the amount of electricity they can generate. A panel will collect solar radiation most efficiently when the sun's rays are perpendicular to the panel's surface – however the angle of the sun varies throughout the year. The optimal tilt angle for a solar panel will differ throu...
