No doubt that solar power is a booming trend now. But how fast is it going viral? What can we expect to happen in the US in the near future and beyond? Today Solar energy has become a major player in the US economy. The last decade alone has experienced a mind-blowing rapid growth in …
One of the most important features of a solar panel is how much energy it can produce. Prospective solar panel owners usually have a goal for how much energy they want to produce. Maybe it is 100% of their household needs, or even just 50%, but in any case, there are several factors that will …
How Much Electricity Does A Solar Panel Produce? Read More »
A solar power system is made up of 4 major components: solar panels, inverter, battery, and power meter. Solar generated electricity is created by using technology field-tested and improved upon since the 19th century. When sunlight hits the module on a solar photovoltaic or PV installation, solar panels convert the sun’s energy into electricity that …
All forms of electricity generation have an environmental impact on our air, water and land, but it varies. Of the total energy consumed in the United States, about 40% is used to generate electricity, making electricity use an important part of each person’s environmental footprint. Producing and using electricity more efficiently reduces both the amount …
Agrivoltaics, also known as agrophotovoltaics (APV), is co-developing the same area of land for both solar photovoltaic power as well as for agriculture. This technique was originally conceived by Adolf Goetzberger and Armin Zastrow in 1981. In 1981, Adolf Goetzberger and Armin Zastrow were the first to propose the concept of dual-use of arable land …
Here are 10 interesting facts about the world of solar that’ll get you in the loop and ready to invest in solar power for your home energy needs. 1. THE FIRST SOLAR PANEL CELL WAS INVENTED IN 1941 The effect of photovoltaic energy was discovered by Alexandre Edmond Becquerel in 1839 when he found that …
10 Interesting Facts About The World Of Solar That You Should Know!! Read More »
Back in the dark ages of 2007 there were only 8,775 megawatts of solar energy on the US grid—less than one-tenth of 1 percent of America’s electricity supply. At that time, Congress had just passed a bill that gave solar a fighting chance: It allowed businesses and individuals to deduct 30 percent of the cost …
Northern Californians are stuck – left to the wiles of PG&E. And, with no other option for a power company, residents are left without power for days on end and increasing rates on each power bill. Not just homeowners, but schools, businesses, grocery stores…people of all ages are not just losing precious work hours and …
The discovery of solar energy is actually much older than you would expect, dating back to the year 1839. During the middle of France’s Industrial Revolution, physicist Alexandre Edmond Becquerellar experimented with the photovoltaic (PV) effect, demonstrating that, with chemistry, light could be converted into electricity in a solar cell. It took 44 more years …
