about solar

No, but the system may produce more power during the day than you will immediately use and the excess power produced can be stored in solar storage systems.

When you have a “grid feed” or “grid-tie” system, the extra inverter that allows electricity from the home to be exported to the grid, allowing any extra energy your system produces to be offloaded. The solar energy system will always prioritize your power needs. It will only offload any power it produces beyond what you use.

Even in partly cloudy weather, solar cells can still operate at 80% of their maximum output.

Solar energy is the most abundant and sustainable energy resource when compared all other types of energy resources put together.

Solar panel system uses photons to separate electrons from atoms. Photons are light particles. The process of separating electrons from their atoms creates solar electricity. Each solar panel contains photovoltaic (PV) cells. PV cells take light, or photons, and convert it to solar electricity. When sunlight hits the solar panel, PV cells produce direct current (DC) electricity. But DC electricity cannot power home on its own. Some solar panel system configurations have a single inverter (often called a string inverter) for the entire system. Some have a micro-inverter connected behind each solar panel. The most important thing to know about inverters is that they convert DC electricity from solar panels to alternating current (AC) electricity. This electricity is what powers the appliances.

Yes! The truth is that colder temperatures are actually better for solar panel output. Electricity flows better when the mercury drops.

Grid-tied – When tied to an electrical grid, the homeowner can get electricity from their solar energy system or utility grid. Off-Grid – it’s a solar energy system that is not connected to a utility grid.

Net metering is a billing agreement between customers like you and your utility company. It allows you to receive credits on your electricity bill when your solar panels produce excess electricity and sends that electricity to the power grid.

Most figures say that solar panels are roughly between 15% and 18% efficient, meaning that 15% to 18% of the sunlight they absorb is converted into electricity while the rest hits the solar panel and warms the surface like it would anything else.

The most suitable direction is to capture the maximum amount of sunlight overall. Solar panels should be tilted between a 30⁰ & 40⁰ degree angle.

A solar battery storage system is utilized to store excess energy of the solar panels.

The standard length and width for a solar panel for home tends to be 66 inches by 40 inches. They tend to weigh about 19 kg and have a frame thickness between 1.25 inches (32mm) and 1.6 inches (40mm). The standard cell count for a residential solar panel is 60 cells. A commercial solar panel tends to be about 77 inches by 39 inches. Most commercial solar panels weigh more than 23 kg.

A solar inverter is basically a low-level computer—installed alongside the other components of your solar energy system—that “inverts” your energy from direct current (DC) to alternating current (AC). Solar inverters also allow to connect the solar energy system to the internet, to access information about the system

90% of PV solar panels are made from two main types of solar cells, either monocrystalline or polycrystalline silicon. Silicon is a highly durable chemical element that converts the energy from the Sun into electricity.

• Silicon panels are generally made out of a semiconductor-grade polysilicon. This polysilicon is usually a mix of processed quartz that is also used to make parts of electronics like microchips. This polysilicon is heated up until it reaches its melting temperature. From there, other chemical additives like boron are added to the polysilicon. This creates a P-type semiconductor material. A P-type semiconductor as a material that conducts electricity better than the average semiconductor but still not as well as a traditional metal conductor.
• This molten polysilicon-boron mix is cooled down and forms what is known as an ingot or block of silicon.
• This ingot is then cut into incredibly thin slices known as wafers. These slices are then etched and cleaned until they’re ready to move on to the next step.
• These wafers are dipped in an N-type solution. An N-type material conducts electricity better than other semiconductors but not as well as pure metal conductors. When the N-type solution comes in contact with the P-type wafer, the two interact in such a way to help them better-still conduct electricity.
• This dipped wafer is now covered in an anti-reflective coating. This helps prevent sunlight from bouncing off the panels and escaping your solar energy system. Lastly, each solar cell is tested and attached to a panel according to its size and strength.

A solar home battery is a rechargeable battery, that stores power from your solar energy system. The most common home batteries have capacities around 10kWh so (depending on your specific configurations) this allows enough stored energy to power up to four circuits in your home, the most common of which are your fridge, kitchen, bathroom, and heater.

This is the number indicating the percentage of solar energy that a particular solar panel can convert into usable electricity. Efficiency ratings can generally vary from 15 to 18 percent.

Most of the solar panels come with 25-year warranty. So, these are long lasting investment.

String inverters or micro inverters indicate working or error as the case may be.

Solar panels can be cleaned with water and hose. Many mechanical methods have also come in like Solar Cleaning Robots for fixed tilt installations and Single axis trackers. Robotic cleaning solutions are used in large solar parks. These clean around 1000 solar panels in 4 hours.

This is rare because solar panels themselves are extremely durable. Chances are slim that the panels themselves will cause any problems but it is not impossible.

In 1839, French physicist Edmond Becquerel discovered the photovoltaic effect while experimenting with a cell made of metal electrodes in a conducting solution. He noted that the cell produced more electricity when it was exposed to light. Later in 1873, Willoughby Smith discovered that selenium could function as a photoconductor. Just three years later, in 1876 William Grylls Adams and Richard Evans Day applied the photovoltaic principle discovered by Becquerel to selenium. They recorded that it could, in fact, generate electricity when exposed to light. Almost 50 years after the photovoltaic effect’s discovery, in 1883, American inventor Charles Fritz created the first working selenium solar cell. Though we use silicon in cells for modern solar panels, this solar cell was a major precursor to the technology used today.

Solar electricity powered offices, bus stations, trains stations. Solar plane, solar ship, solar car and even solar train. We have all of them catching up very fast along with EV Hybrid technology.
