Water photovoltaic project is mainly the use of water to build photovoltaic power station, how to build it? There are currently two most common forms - floating and pile-fixed. Pile fixed simply means that in the water pile, and then erected photovoltaic power station, and centralized, roof photovoltaic is the same. However, this form can only be used on small water surfaces, and for wide water ar...
With the growing popularity of clean energy sources such as photovoltaic power generation, more and more businesses are installing photovoltaic power stations. While enjoying the benefits of photovoltaic power generation, power station owners should not neglect the maintenance and cleaning of their power stations at home. Correct maintenance and care will not only ensure the power generation capac...
EDP is to acquire Polish distributed solar company Soon Energy, enabling its presence in Poland to grow fivefold, the company has claimed, as it targets distributed generation as a key growth area in the country. Soon Energy has over 25MWp installed in solar system projects across Poland, of which 10MWp was installed in 2021, accruing revenues of €6 million (US$6.6 million). The acquisition w...
We understand solar energy to be an important alternative energy source to our daily living - but what are the ways we can utilise this on the everyday? Solar energy remains one of the most sought after alternative energy sources today, especially in the face of climate change and rising global temperatures. Many governments are making specific moves to phase out of using fossil fuel energy,...
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 PV panel will differ througho...
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...
Solar panels and harnessing the power of solar energy is one of the fastest advancements we have done to get on the path towards sustainability & using renewable resources. But the only drawback in using this ever-present energy source is that we must consider the decline of the materials used to generate this energy. Read more to learn about some significant causes of the degradation of solar...
Last year, 137GW of renewable energy capacity was acquired globally through government tenders, up 10% year-on-year, despite industry headwinds, logistics tensions and an energy crisis. Solar photovoltaic power is the renewable energy source with the most winning bids through government tenders, reaching 61GW, accounting for 44% of the total. Solar’s share of global government tenders has de...
