For all its environmental and other sustainability benefits, rooftop solar suffers from one big problem – it is not a 24×7, reliable source of electricity. Unless of course you consider using a battery along with the solar panels; or using a diesel generator in conjunction with the solar panels. If...

When it comes to solar cells and panels, one of the most hotly discussed topics is the efficiency of the solar cell. As is well known, monocrystalline solar panels have a much higher efficiency (sometimes as high as 23%) at the cell level, while most multicrystalline solar panels usually have...

Consider where most large-scale solar power plants will be put up, and you will see remote lands, deserts and the like. Regions with a lot of sunshine, a lot of heat and a lot…dust. That pops up a question: Are the conventional solar panels we use good enough for high dust environments?...

For most customers, a solar inverter’s basic display is informative enough. But, in large ground-mounted solar plants and commercial & industrial rooftop solar plants, there is a need for greater degree of control and more depth in monitoring. Remote monitoring options offered with some inverters can provide basic system performance...

About two years back, for one of the rooftop solar consulting assignments that I did, the client, a small but highly profitable software company in Chennai, was keen on having the most premium solar panels. He wanted to know the best solar panels in the world, in terms of efficiency....

If you had been reading about solar power plants, you would have surely encountered the debate going on in the context of inverters: Which inverter is better for large solar farms? String or central? Now, I have been asked this question numerous times in the past 2 years by many folks...

What has the Internet of Things (IoT) got to do with solar? A lot, apparently! This blog post from Solar Mango on the use of IoT for solar power plants says: ” IoT-based solar monitoring platforms provide excellent performance analytics through provisions for the following: Calculation of performance parameters like Performance...
