Solar energy is an important source of renewable energy that is currently being harnessed using a wide range of ever-evolving technologies. One such emerging technology is the use of solar energy to power Light Emitting Diode (LED) street lights. Since solar power is a clean, inexhaustible, and affordable means of electricity, our reliance on it …
Solar power is one of the fastest growing sources of electricity in India and the world. Much of this growth in solar is driven by two factors, a fall in module prices making solar cheaper than almost every other generation method, and an increase in financing options available for consumers looking to install solar. However, …
Solar energy is a clean and renewable source of energy that provides reliable power and reduces the carbon footprint. Solar energy can be used as additional power to the grid-connected power and provides power in times of extensive power usage to reduce high electricity bills. On installation of a solar power system, we can see …
Mounting systems are essential for the appropriate design and function of a solar photovoltaic system. They provide the structural support needed to sustain solar panels at the optimum tilt, and can even affect the overall temperature of the system. Based on the selection of the solar mounting structure, the cooling mechanism will vary. Ground-mounted solar …
With our ever-increasing demands for electricity, it is necessary not to completely depend on fossil fuels for generation, but to also utilize the untapped potential of various renewable energy sources. Decades ago, solar wasn’t a viable technology to meet our power requirements, but thanks to advancements in PV technology, there is a drastic change in …
Humanity is at a very interesting crossroads today. Ever since the industrial revolution, the net output of our modern civilization has been at the cost of the environment. Never before in the history of planet Earth had the total CO2 levels been above 300 ppm. We crossed that barrier in the late 1940s and the …
The sun is the most abundant form of energy that is easily accessible to us. It is also the ultimate source of energy, as every other known source of energy is either directly or indirectly derived from the sun. The total energy from the sun that hits the Earth’s surface every hour is roughly equivalent …
The growth of solar in India, especially rooftop solar for industries, has been greatly driven by the introduction of several financing solutions that help consumers enjoy the benefits of solar while limiting their potential downsides. One of the most innovative financing models on the market today, is the BOOT (Build, Own Operate, Transfer) model popularly …
