Optimizing LCOE in Utility-scale Solar Installations
LCOE is the metric used by the energy industry to determine how long it will take to pay back the system design and installation and begin turning a profit, similar to the concept of payback in residential and commercial energy systems.
Defect Detection in Photovoltaic Modules
Allied Vision provides Near-Infrared (NIR) cameras with great performance in terms of quantum efficiency and sensitivity for Photovoltaic (PV) modules inspection systems. They are used by inspection systems in the market to detect defects.
Generating Recurring Revenue with Active Monitoring of Solar Systems
If the installer offers the first year of monitoring for free to every customer, we have found that around 90% of people renew the next year, establishing an ongoing annual relationship that didn't exist before.
Solar/Wireless Site Cameras Monitor Substations and Renewable Power Plants
CIPCO turned to Sensera Systems for a flexible camera solution that would meet the site security needs of the solar power plant project and the substation.
Powering Towards a Sustainable Future
The solar industry in the USA creates 260,000 jobs in the renewable energy sector annually, making it 17 times faster than other industries. With the USA leading the race for solar power, the rest of the countries are also following suit.
SolarEdge Combines the Increased Capabilities of UPS Systems With a Renewable Energy Source
Here, Yaron Binder, VP Product Management, describes a new vision in which UPS systems are leveraged to augment grid supply and enable businesses and institutions to meet a wide variety of operational and financial needs.
SMA America and STC Sunbelt SpA Shine a Spotlight on Sustainability with the Nueva Cordova Building
The building is truly spectacular. Not only are there PV panels lining the roof, but the building itself is also covered with a photovoltaic façade. Nueva Cordova, thanks to those features, is going through the process to be certified as LEED CS gold status.
The Three Major Methods of Designing a Rooftop Solar System
During the sales and planning phases of a residential rooftop solar project, different methods are used to figure out how to lay out the solar modules on a roof. We will talk about three methods that solar professionals often use during this phase.
Poor Connectivity - A Costly Threat to Your Solar PV System
Solar PV systems consist of many components, which are connected by cables and connectors. This is one of the main safety hazards of any solar PV system. In this Solis article we'll share how a connectivity failure could create a security problem and how to prevent it.
Advancing Solar Projects with Ground Grading
Understanding what to expect at the beginning of the construction and knowing how to navigate potential challenges, or how to avoid them altogether, could greatly boost the performance of the solar park, as well as reduce expenses.
How Efficient Are Tracking Solar Panels?
There are a few different types of solar panel motors and designs. To power the tracking of a farm of solar panels there are two main options: a central drive system featuring one tracking motor that powers multiple panels simultaneously.
Solar Panel Cleaning and the Importance of Preventative Maintenance
There are several challenges, mainly due to the area where the cleaning is needed. For example, in Saudi Arabia, there are a lot of sandstorms. Therefore, the panels need to be dry cleaned almost every day.
How Solar Drives the American Economy
The U.S. solar industry employs more than 230,000 workers, as of 2020, at more than 10,000 companies across every state. Imagine the possibilities, much like business leaders around the world are imagining today.
Innovations In End of Life Solar Panel Disposal & Recycling
Estimates are that approximately 8 million metric tons of solar panels will reach their end-of-life in the next nine years. That amount will increase to 80 million within 30 years. Where will they all go?
A Trip to the Swiss Village Where the World Calibrates Its Solar Monitoring Instruments
Measuring the energy of the sun precisely is not as easy as tracking distances or weight. To set an international standard for solar monitoring instruments radiometers, the World Radiation Centre holds comparison events that result in the World Radiometric Reference.
