On February 16, 2023, the seminar on the development review and prospect of the photovoltaic industry in 2022 sponsored by the China Photovoltaic Industry Association was successfully held. Shu Yunhua, Director of Tracking Stent Strategy Department of Trina Solar Co., Ltd., delivered a report on "2022 Tracking Stent Industry Review&Outlook". From 2021 to 2022, the p...
Photovoltaic power stations are built in wilderness, desert, and high-rise buildings, and need to face different natural disasters all year round. Among them, the most common are various hurricanes, typhoons, and tornadoes. According to the global wind distribution map, gales with wind speeds greater than 10 m/s cover more than 60% of the world's regions; over the past 160 years, more than 50% of ...
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...

Before a strong typhoon comes, conduct a comprehensive and detailed inspection of the installation of solar panels, and take preventive measures in a timely manner. • Including screws and fasteners, whether the fasteners are fastened firmly, check if the middle and side pressure blocks of the photovoltaic power station are loose, please fasten them in time. • For solar panels installed w...
The solar energy industry has witnessed remarkable growth in recent years, with an increasing number of homeowners recognizing the numerous benefits that solar panels bring to their daily lives. These environmentally friendly and cost-effective energy solutions have become a popular choice for homeowners seeking to reduce their carbon footprint, lower electricity bills, and contribute to a greener...
Types of losses in utility-scale PV systems There are several different types of solar system losses with various causes, such as the environment, weather, and load. Most are issues that need to be addressed at the design stage, while maintenance can go some way to limit those losses. Shading losses Shading the surface of solar panels from direct sunlight can result in around 7% system loss. As so...
With the increasing market share of electric and hybrid vehicles, many businesses, communities, and industrial parks that had originally planned to install parking shelters are now retrofitting them into solar carport. Solar carport, a straightforward integration of solar panels with existing structures, has gained popularity in recent years. These structures efficiently absorb sunlight, are easy ...
