How to Design a Solar Power System
Designing a solar power system isn't as easy as just slapping a few panels on the roof and calling it a day. What do you need to take into account when designing a solar power system?
Talking Single-axis Tracker with Kevin Ward, RBI Solar
RBI's Sunflower single-axis tracker is designed and engineered to meet the project development challenges of topography and maximized PV density. The system has an articulating table design, which accommodates undulating North/South slope tolerances up +/- 10%
Electric Vehicles: IDTechEx Research Forecasts $2.6 Trillion Market, Many New Sectors
olor changing cars, ones with energy storage bodywork, light-emitting glass that darkens at a touch? All have been demonstrated. Supercapacitor buses charging in 10 seconds?
Solar Decathlon Design Challenge Takeaways
Being a juror is an amazing experience. It is heartening to see how thoughtful the teams were in their designs. The students included innovative approaches to achieve the design goals and some created models to show off their design.
Toward 100% Clean Energy: Two Million Solar Strong and Growing
Today, IREC proudly joins the collective voice of advocates and industry celebrating a milestone we have worked for 37 years to witness: two million solar installations now in the U.S.
2019's Battery Tech Challenge
Developing markets mean opportunity and threat for battery technology.
LONGi 72 Bifacial Half Cell Module Achieves World Record with 450W Front-Side Power
On April 29, LONGi announced that the front side power of its 72-cell Bifacial half-cut module exceeded 450W, achieving the world's highest power in this module type. This new record was tested and verified by renowned certification agency TÃœV-SÃœD.
Sonoma Family Replaces Home Lost to Fire with BONE Structure Net Zero Energy Home
They could save you up to 90% on energy costs for heating and cooling. No mold, no moisture and no premature deterioration of materials, the homes are beautiful, solid and contemporary.
Reusing Renewable Energy Products
We started RENewed Wind and Solar because we don't think quality renewable energy equipment should sit in a warehouse - or worse, go to a landfill. We think there's a better way. Reuse.
How to Design a Rooftop Solar System for Maximum Energy Density?
For some installations it may make sense to reduce the tilt of the modules to a less optimal incident angle. Though this means less production on a per module-basis, it can mean a significant increase in the daily unshaded collection time for the array.
Trend to Watch: Bifacial Modules
Bifacial solar modules are becoming more popular in the solar industry. These modules can absorb sunlight from both sides as opposed to just one. Therefore, they can convert the light that is reflected behind the panel to increase the total energy production.
Energy-efficient building codes are a cost-effective foundation for rooftop solar
With the US building stock estimated to add a net average of 1.4 million homes each year, states will need to minimize their energy use and greenhouse gas emissions by focusing on effective building codes and standards.
How Civil Work Erodes Project Economics
Both on paper and in the field, civil engineering can quickly drain your project's margins. From the intricacies of installation logistics to the added costs of non-standard products, margins become slimmer as development becomes more and more complex.
California Leads Nation in Residential Solar Installation Rates, Overall Homes and Total Capacity
Gavop's analysis of latest solar installation data from SEIA and census data shows that California leads the nation at 44.92% of all homes installed with solar home. California also leads the nation with total homes installed with solar power at 6.3M total homes ...
A Multi-trillion-dollar Energy Marketplace Is Emerging
Billions of individual devices and population growth have increased demand exponentially. Technology advances with the potential to lower costs and ward off cyber dangers are critically needed. And, commitments to clean and renewable energy sources have become mandates.
