What is the first thing that comes to mind when considering a solar power system? A series of panels hung on the roof? Perhaps a string of solar arrays placed on the ground or the water’s surface. Let’s present another picture of a light solar panel that folds and is brought along during your next trip to create renewable energy! What exactly are solar panels that fold up? And are they worth…
In November, one of India’s most prominent cancer treatment providers, Healthcare Global, commissioned a 2.25MW solar power plant in Karnataka. The plant will supply pure energy to two major cancer centers of HCG and save Rs4.2 crores each year. HCG isn’t the only healthcare company that has gone down the solar option. In recent years, several healthcare facilities have installed solar panel systems to reduce their power expenses. One Indian state has…
Buildings are responsible for nearly 39 percent of the world’s C02 emissions. This number does not include only the emissions from construction operations but also those generated by the manufacture of building materials and in the construction process. In this situation, the responsibility of construction companies and the construction industry toward the environment increases dramatically. Enter BIPV or Building-Integrated Photovoltaics. What are BIPV Systems? Imagine tall buildings with the deep blue…
Are you thinking about having your industrial roof repaired or to be replaced? Perhaps your metal roof has begun to rust and is soaked with water. There is a good chance that your roof is nearing collapse. Maybe you’d like to complete the repair before installing solar panels. Whatever the reason, you’re considering removing your old sheet roof to install an alternative. Here’s the reason why solar roofs are the best alternative.…
Did you realize that the C&I sector of India makes up the majority of 70 to 80% of the rooftop solar power installations in India? One industry that is most benefiting from this renewable energy source is Micro, Small & Medium Enterprises (MSMEs).Research has shown that putting solar panels on roofs can help small- and medium-sized businesses reduce operational costs by up to 20 percent! 250kW of solar power is typical in…
The majority of solar power projects that are being developed in India are grid-tied solar installations. That is, solar power systems are connected to the grid of electricity. Compared to battery-powered systems, it is impossible to conserve energy with these kinds of power plants. However, you can export excess energy to the grid and get compensated for it. The frequency of your monthly bill will be dependent on your meters. Solar Metering Types…
In the past, it was hard to imagine how sunlight could be used to harness and transform sunlight into energy usable. However, we’re here! Millions of businesses and households have switched to this renewable energy source to reduce their energy bills. Solar is particularly well-liked within the MSME segment, which is gaining significant savings on electricity, a lower carbon footprint, and an improved brand image thanks to this resource. We previously discussed…
So, you decided to take the plunge and bought the latest energy-producing solar plant. However, it’s not producing the power you expected for some reason! Was it a bad idea? No. A solar-powered power plant isn’t an unwise choice since it can help you cut your expenses and carbon footprint even at its lowest performance! Additionally, the inefficiency of your solar system could be traced to several reasons, and most of them can…
Solar power is a process of converting sunlight’s energy into energy. The sun generates two types of energy that we can use for our own, including heat and electricity. Both are produced using solar panels ranging in size from rooftops for residential homes to solar farms stretching across acres of terrain. Are solar panels a renewable source of energy? Yes, the sun is a renewable energy source. This infinite energy…
In 2016 2016, the United States reached an energy record of 1 million solar panels placed on buildings and homes. The number continues to grow, averaging 1.6 million in the year that ended. Today, with the help of new rules approved by the California Energy Commission Wednesday, the number of homes with solar panels will likely increase in the coming years. The new set of regulations will require that the majority of…
