To achieve the outcomes of the Paris Agreement, India has committed to obtain 40% of its electricity from renewable energy sources by 2030. As the country’s installed renewable energy capacity surpassed the 40% mark in November 2021 itself. Solar is leading India's energy transition, contributing up to 100 GW. As of November 30, 2021, India ranked sixth globally in terms of installed solar capacit...

Researchers from Universiti Putra Malaysia have defined a series of fire safety measures that solar installers should follow when deploying residential rooftop PV systems. "Incorrect installation practices have been identified as a common factor contributing to fire hazards in photovoltaics," said the study's corresponding author. "This human error can be due to unintentional behavior or deliberat...

There are two main types of solar power systems: on-grid and off-grid or standalone. Both stand-alone and grid-connected systems use photovoltaic panels to convert sunlight into electricity. Although both systems generate electricity in the same way, they store it differently. Standalone systems will use batteries or energy storage systems to store energy. The battery may require a charge controll...

One of the largest areas of innovation in solar energy involves solar mounting systems.Solar mounting systems are an important part of solar panels - they attach solar panels to the roof or the ground. Traditional ground mounted systems Ground-mounted solar systems basically all work the same way, with the system anchored to the ground and housing a large number of stacked panels. Two rails typica...

The Tesla Solar Roof takes solar panels from a popular alternative energy provider and has them specially processed to make them an effective roofing material. Solar panel mounting systems are often referred to as photovoltaic (PV) systems. The technology utilizes sunlight instead of heat that comes into contact with the panel and converts it into direct current (DC). Tesla's Building Integrated P...

Soils can be sandy, soft, rocky, or clay, depending on altitude, water table, and environment. Solar installers have to contend with many unique soil requirements when working on ground installation projects. Three of the most common solar ground installation solutions - piling, ground screws, concrete ballast. Piling There are two types of solar piling systems: C-type piles and U-type piles, whic...

Components of a solar photovoltaic system include solar panels, inverters, solar mounts, and solar cell storage units (if required). Solar Panel The solar panel is the most visible element of a photovoltaic system, which is why you're probably most familiar with it. They're essentially "signatures" of solar power, and we usually tell if someone is using solar power to power their home by looking f...
