Solar energy, the most abundant free energy of the World, is now being exploited very widely. As the whole World is crying about energy depletion, the ever existing energy in front of us is Solar Energy. Let us see what solar energy is, its types, and advantages of it. Solar energy is the energy from […]
Getting solar panels installed on your houses to minimize the global carbon footprint is the latest fad these days and you too, most probably, have also thought of getting a battery from one of the best battery makers in the domestic solar energy market. A new study, however, notes out that these solar batteries have […]
In 2009, an industry magazine related to the green sector rated Germany as the world’s “first major renewable energy economy.” Two years later – following the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant disaster in 2011– it announced major policy decision that lived up to this tag, announcing that it would do away with nuclear energy totally […]
‘Go solar’ is a common howl and probably a definite motto we need to give a heed to, if we desire for an emerging society. Efficiency is what matters the most with the least cost prevailing, with negligible harm to the environment. The greenhouse effect, being a consequence of the cruel maneuvers carried out by […]
Regular government initiatives and subsidies offered for the solar industry in various countries, as well as a decline in the average installed cost of photovoltaic (PV) systems, have led to a growth in solar power generation globally. What has also helped is the growing realisation that solar PV is the best alternative to fossil fuels. […]
The Australia Energy Council, a non-profit, says the global market for solar photovoltaic panels and battery storage will likely reach 900 MW by 2018. To put this in perspective, this would translate into a tenfold growth in a span of less than five years since 2014, when it was 90 MW. As for the Australian […]
Germany has always been a country with tons of leading companies in every industry there is. Germany, the country where a decision was made to replace all nuclear power stations and use renewable energy, has at least one third of its state driven by green electricity. The country also boasts of proposing the world’s most […]
Say, you have hundreds of companies manufacturing the same product that you long for. There’s competition worth the consideration but you hunt for that one company that is gullible. One definite step to clear this round is to go through a list of the best companies in town. If you decide to go for an […]
With renewable energy technologies today accounting for over 50% of new power plants coming up across the globe, the energy scenario is rapidly changing worldwide. A milestone of sorts was marked in 2014, when, for the first time, the growth rate for the use of coal in power generation came to a stop globally including […]
Globally, around 50% of the total solar panel production is handled by only top 20 companies. During the recent years, there have been an exponential rise in using solar energy as the source of electricity and many countries including India, the US and China are setting up targets to start solar powered electricity production. This […]
Photovoltaic (PV) manufacturers are ruling the various sectors of renewable energy industry, thanks to the ever-growing demand for solar power. Also, PV makers are focusing on making superior quality solar panels that offer a lifetime of great performance these days. Its demand is ever-rising as more and more people are turning to green energy. The […]
Going by projections for the US solar energy sector from a Washington DC-based trade lobby, makers of solar inverters in the country should have enough reasons to rejoice. According to sectoral trade body SEIA – the Solar Energy Industries Association – more solar photovoltaic (PV) projects will become operational in America in the final quarter […]
As the bold line of our dependence on energy sources gets crossed day by day, an alternative approach is required to a great extent, an approach of an incredible idea of depending on an unlimited resource that could provide a means of achieving the desired requirements of the consumers. This mainly refers to the Sun’s […]
The solar PV sector was marked by record deployment globally and rapid expansion into new markets in 2015, according to a global organization on renewal energy. In its latest study titled Renewables 2016: Global Status Report, the REN 21 Network said worldwide, the solar PV market was up 25% in 2015 from the previous year. […]
Solar power manufacturers in developed nations such as the US, the UK etc have not been able to compete with their counterparts in China, thanks to its aggressive step into renewable energy, which has given a major push to its market. According to recent data, China has outpaced all its competitors and has become the […]
The demand for solar energy has seen an immense increase – it has risen multiple times, right from being a fringe interest of a few handful of environment lovers to becoming an option in renovation and office and home constructions. However, the ones in the United States also face stiff competition from their Chinese counterparts […]
The growing demand for solar energy and its falling prices together are giving way to increase in the local solar energy panel manufacturers who are, however, reeling under stiff competition from low-cost imports by their Chinese counterparts. Tata to Moser Baer: Here are the Top 10 Solar Panel Manufacturers in India Tata BP Solar India […]
Solar manufacturing businesses are flourishing as demand for unconventional and sustainable energy is on the rise. A solar charge controller uses and optimises solar power in such a manner that it increases the lifespan of batteries without leaving any brunt on the environment. Solar charge controller reduces the rate at which electric current is drawn […]
While you might have witnessed solar power systems on the roofs of people’s houses, have you ever wondered what all components these systems required to work? In this article, we have listed these components and explained what they do. Though unexpected, solar panels or solar intertie photovoltaic (PV) systems are pretty simple. In the beginning, […]
Solar Power systems can be categorized into two types – Off-grid solar system and on-grid/grid-tie solar system. But, why is the grid there in the first place? Also, which one should you choose between the two? Read on to learn the major differences between the on-grid installation and off-grid installation. Definitions On-grid systems are those […]
Solar energy is the energy provided by the sun. Solar panels generate electricity with the help of sunlight. Usually, these panels are placed on the roof in a direction to face the sun. Solar energy is being used by countries all over the world to cut use of fossil fuels and make solar power a […]
Solar power has seen a significant growth over the past centuries. For Australia, it is a preferred energy source today. By this time, we have reached a new era in the history of solar power, which has achieved some unexpected milestones. Here is an important timelines of Solar power revolution. 1767, Introduction of First Solar […]
A solar or photovoltaic cell is an electrical tool, which transforms light energy into electricity using the photovoltaic effect. The electrical features of a solar cell, which is a kind of photoelectric cell, include voltage, current, and resistance, and differ on their exposure to light. Solar cells are basic elements of photovoltaic modules or solar […]
Solar cells, also dubbed photovoltaic cells, are devices that directly use visible light to produce electricity using the photovoltaic effect. A solar panel or a photovoltaic module can be formed by connecting numerous cells to one another, which generates useful power. A photovoltaic cell comprises solar as well as non-solar sources of light, including photons […]
