Quick answer: Why orientation and tilt matter? In photovoltaics, the orientation (azimuth) and tilt determine how much plane-of-array irradiance the solar panel captures throughout the day and year. These two parameters directly affect annual energy output (kWh). Accurate design translates into more hours near peak power and a faster return on investment. Conversely, incorrect orientation […]

TOPCon or N-Type TECHNOLOGY
As we already know, a solar panel is made from the chemical silicon with a purity of 99.9%. This silicon is melted into a mono-crystalline or polycrystalline ingot depending on the speed of the crystallisation process. Monocrystalline ingots have a higher yield as a result of a slower and more controlled crystallisation process. Once the […]
