NEC 2023 Changes to Sections 690, 691, 692, 694, 705, 710 and 790
This article summarizes some of the current and new requirements regarding proper labeling for standard solar and wind installations.
Alternate Energy Aficionados Dream Come True : Solar Cars: Is It Really a Possibility?
After vigorous calculations, researchers have concluded that to drive 50 miles per day, a car needs 3.44 kW, and most of the current solar panels can produce 345 W/ft² under full sun, and that will need approximately 250 ft² of solar panels in a car.
Using Carbon Additives to Improve Performance of AGM Batteries
Batteries that operate in partial state of charge (PSOC) environments can suffer from reduced charge acceptance that can lead to progressive capacity loss.
Advances in Solar Panel Technology in Recent Years and Its Use in Solar Car Development
Currently, a high-efficiency car company, Aperta Motors, is conducting test drives and safety tests on a new design of cars. These Aperta are three-wheelers, covered by 34 square feet of solar panels, which provide enough energy to drive up to 40 miles on a sunny day.
Using Wind Energy for Hydrogen Production : An Innovative Concept
As a way to resolve wind curtailment, the integration of hydrogen fuel at a wind farm allows flexibility to shift production to best match the resource availability with its particular operational needs and market factors.
Evaluating the Efficiency of Hydropower as an Alternative Energy Source and its Effects on the Ecosystem
Generation of hydropower, a renewable source of energy, is not a difficult feat, however, making the generation process efficient and cost effective is the real challenge.
COVID-19 & looking ahead to 2021 and beyond, Insights from Baja Carports
The biggest challenge to the solar industry is the cost of land and cost of transmission to the end user. This combined with the spike in additional demand due to the rapid increase in electrical vehicles will put a tremendous burden on solar solutions.
COVID-19 & Looking Ahead to 2021 and Beyond, Insights from Soltec
Soltec Power Holdings is continuously studying and investing in innovation to offer the best products to the market. In 2020 we introduced our new SF8 tracker, under the slogan "designed for greatness".
COVID-19 & Looking Ahead to 2021 and Beyond, Insights from Roof Tech
Roof Tech growth has been within the yearly target despite the pandemic. We continue to introduce newer products and also adding additional manufacturing capabilities. We hit record-breaking numbers in the third and fourth quarter of the year despite COVID-19 shut-downs.
COVID-19 & Looking Ahead to 2021 and Beyond, Insights from QuickBOLT
Although there are many challenges in the solar industry today, I believe reducing soft costs - which include all aspects of permitting and regulation of the industry - is one of the most difficult challenges to overcome.
Trending Developments in Wind Turbine Technology and the Future of Wind Energy
Researchers in the industry are working to develop better turbine technology, such as higher efficiency generators and more reliable blades to minimize energy and manufacturing costs.
Gibraltar Expands Solar Capabilities
Gibraltar acquired Sunfig and TerraSmart to provide an end-to-end solution for our customers, which will bring greater value to solar projects of any size, any type and in any location.
Lithium Iron Phosphate Batteries
My favorite feature of the RE-VOLT battery is the LCD display located on the front of the battery. The LED screen gives the State of Charge, Cell Voltages, and Fault Code information with just a few clicks through the menu.
COVID-19 & Looking Ahead to 2021 and Beyond, Insights from SMA America
Relative to market dynamics, we are seeing more markets reducing or eliminating incentives. Whether it's net metering or the ITC, the industry must account for changing financial models.
Advancements in Desalination Using Solar Energy
Solar energy has a large potential as a renewable desalination energy source because of its abundance on Earth. Furthermore, advances in solar-wind hybrid desalination systems will be looked at, that demonstrate high efficiency and low carbon emissions as well.

S-5!® PVKIT™ 2.0 Solar Rooftop Solutions
The concept of combining PV arrays with standing seam metal roofing is growing-for good reasons. Metal roofs have a life expectancy of more than 40 years. Shouldn't the mounting system last as long? With S-5! zero-penetration attachment technology and PVKIT 2.0, the solarized metal roof is the most sustainable system available -and without compromising roof warranties! PVKIT 2.0 is the also the best solution for attaching PV modules directly to any exposed fastener metal roof.
