Building Integrated Photovoltaics | BIPV Solar
The field of photovoltaics, or PV, has exploded in the past few years. From rooftop systems to utility-scale projects, solar energy is increasingly becoming a common source of electricity for homes and businesses across the country. But what is BIPV, and how does it work? Photovoltaics ( PV ) is a method of generating electricity […]
Does My Roof Need Replacement Before Installing Solar Panels?
Whether your roof needs to be replaced will depend on its age and condition. You can check for signs without climbing a ladder, including leaks in the attic and walls, mildew, and dark, “dirty” spots on the roof. If you’re nearing the point of replacement, you should get this work done before installing solar panels. […]
Biden’s Emergency Order for Solar Production: Analysis
On June 6, 2022, U.S. President Joe Biden invoked the defence act to increase solar panel manufacturing. Our call for action, earlier this year has been answered, read our article here.The defence act has rarely been used in the modern era and the last time was during Donald Trump’s presidency to produce more masks and […]
LiFePO4 Batteries Vs. LiFeMnPO4 and Other Batteries
LiFePO4 Batteries Vs. LiFeMnPO4 and Other Batteries If you’re building a solar PV system and wondering whether a LiFePO4 or a LiFeMnPO4 battery is the best choice, this article will help you understand both types of batteries and why they’re different. Also, find out if you should use a 12, 24 or 48 Volt lithium […]
Hazardous Chemicals in Solar Panels
Solar panels may be an attractive selection for clean energy, but they nurture their share of hazardous chemicals. The risk of exposure to these chemicals is much less than the risk of exposure in nuclear power generation or even the hazards or environmental impact associated with hydroelectric dam power generation. Modern solar panels are designed […]
A Call on Governments for More Solar PV Implementation
The future of solar is continued growth, improved technology and lower implementation costs. Don’t let the prospect of net metering ending stop you from going ahead with an install. In view, the tariffs simply promote better technology, including BIPV and significantly increased PV system efficiency. This post is a call on governments to invite more […]
How is Solar Energy Captured?
Solar energy is made up of photons. A photon is a particle that consists of electromagnetic radiation such as light. Sunlight and the photons of which it is comprised will outlast human life on Earth. It will be around a great deal longer than oil, gas, or coal. According to current estimates, it’s unlikely to […]
How Often Will Solar Energy be used by the Next Generation?
The future is always difficult to predict. By mapping existing trends in energy use, the solar energy sector, and also scientific study right into the future, we can draw back the curtain a little bit to take a glimpse at what solar power may look like in 2040. You may not recognize photovoltaic panels in […]
