A solar charge controller manages the power going into the battery bank from the solar array. It ensures that the deep cycle batteries are not overcharged during the day, and that the power doesn’t run backwards to the solar panels overnight and…
One of the main types of the solar power system is Off-grid — also known as a stand-alone power system (SAPS).It works by generating electricity from solar panels and using it to charge a solar battery via a charger controller. That electricity is then…
There is much confusion in the marketplace about the different types of UPS systems and their characteristics. This paper provides indepth definitions and practical application examples to help you make an informed decision about which UPS topology you need. There…
2020 will be a massive year for solar power system installations because net metering laws are still in place in most states. (Net metering gives you retail value for excess electricity your solar energy system produces). If you have any…
Stage 2 rotational load shedding will continue until Thursday, Eskom announced on Sunday. Load shedding will continue on Sunday until 6am on Monday and then resume again from 9am on Monday until Thursday at 6am, with respite between 6am to…
basic off grid solar electric system consists of the following 4 key components: The solar panel is the basic component of a solar electric system. The module consists of photovoltaic cells that absorb sunlight and convert it into electricity. The entire process is…
Around the globe, more homeowners are electing to install solar power systems (solar panel system). Their motivation is to reduce long-term energy costs while minimizing their carbon footprint. Clean, renewable, and affordable, solar energy is clearly the energy of the…
All solar power systems work on the same basic principles. Solar panels first convert solar energy or sunlight into DC power using what is known as the photovoltaic (PV) effect. The DC power can then be stored in a battery…
BATTERY DISCHARGE RATE Did you know that the Discharge Rate of a batter has a huge impact on the Life Span depends on the way how you manage them? The deeper your discharge rate is, the shorter the lifespan. Refer…
