Expert opinion on the main questions for the PV industry future What challenges is the PV industry currently facing? The PV industry is one of the fastest-changing industries in the world. There are several challenges that PV would be facing in the closest future. Among them, there are 3 major challenges that need to be […]
Differences between battery types
There are currently several solar battery options for electrical energy storage that can be applied to solar photovoltaic installations. In essence, batteries have the ability to convert electrical energy into chemical energy so that it can be stored and then converted back into electrical energy when needed for consumption. In Spanish, batteries can also be […]
How do I know how many solar panels I need to charge the batteries?
In this section we will look at the necessary points to ensure a proper dimensioning of our solar kit. We will analyse the different aspects that will determine the durability of the equipment before we decide to move forward with the installation. In order to correctly size the necessary solar panels to charge the batteries […]
Top 3: Huawei, Sungrow and SMA. Spanish Power Electronics approaches the podium
In the solar industry there are a variety of manufacturers of solar inverters in both the utility segment and the residential and commercial market for self-consumption. Many are the brands with different prices, quality, and technology, but if something has remained constant in recent years in the design and manufacture of solar inverters are the […]
Coplanar or tilted structure?
Learning to select PV modules structures Performing the installation of solar panels can become a simple task if we have designed the system correctly and have provisioned ourselves with the necessary components. Once we have made the decision to install photovoltaic panels on our rooftop, we should consider when we are currently consuming energy in […]
How is the excess of self-consumption compensation working for a solar photovoltaic system in Spain?
The actual Spanish regulation (RD 244/2019) allows that solar energy production can be used efficiently in the self-consumption mode. This regulation allows to self-consume solar energy within their own house. This opens the option of a significant reduction from the electricity bill amount. Obviously, anyone who is thinking deeply on that might be having some […]
What is the peak shaving or how to save a few euros in the fixed term of the receipt of the light
Photovoltaic not only produces savings in the energy consumption part of your utility bill. Peak shaving is a term that begins to listen and that helps to understand another way through which the photovoltaic is able to allow us to save in utility bills. While everyone understands that installing solar panels on your roof can […]
China already installs more than 40 million photovoltaic panels per month, and climbing
The potential of photovoltaics has always been underestimated Photovoltaics still exceed all expectations. Since technology began to be used for mass electric production, technology has overflowed all perspectives. In June and July, 23 GW of new photovoltaic solar power was installed in China alone, this is more than 40 million panels per month. A figure […]
