The Importance of Solar Panel and PV Management Equipment Recycling
Solar panels contain hazardous materials. If they get into our landfills, our environment and our entire ecosystem will be effected. In our industry, solar panels been considered to be part of the "last mile" of electronic waste that needs to be responsibly recycled.
PV Forecasts and Managing Supply Chain Issues and Customer Expectations
Planning and pipeline transparency are essential, and customers need to be made aware of the items that can threaten deadlines well in advance.
NextGen PV Soiling Mitigation
PV soiling monitors are one of the best ways to know when solar panel cleaning makes sense from an economic standpoint. By knowing how much performance we are losing and our PPA values we can determine when the cost of cleaning < the cost of being dirty (performance loss).
Latest Developments and Advances in Marine Energy
It is found that marine energy can be used to generate enough power to meet the energy demands worldwide. To extract energy from the ocean, there are many techniques which include the energy from the waves, energy from currents, salinity gradients, and temperature gradients
The Importance Solar Warranties and Customer Service
Historically, the focus has always been on the CAPEX of projects when deciding on one company or another. But what time and experience has shown many clients is that OPEX must also be taken into account in this selection.
Solar Training Courses for 2022
SEI is scaling the organization on several fronts to give people more access to hands on, more classes online, and more services for employers to help bridge the gap between training and employment.
New Legislation on PFAS May Affect Your Fire Suppression System
One of the primary problems with PFAS is their "persistence." Persistence means they can persist in soil, water, and in the human body … for years. Exposure to water, air, and sunlight does little to degrade them, thus they are known as "forever" chemicals.
Case Study - Outfitting an Off-Grid Canvas Geodesic Dome - Part 1
The setup would consist of a 24ft canvas geodesic dome, an outdoor kitchen, a separate enclosed bathroom, and a utility trailer with solar panels mounted on the roof and all the required electrical inside.
Capitalizing on the Growth of Small to Medium Commercial Rooftops (50-500kW)
There are a lot of new tools that exist in the C&I space that haven't existed in the past. As the price of electricity increases, more C&I businesses owners are looking for ways to to generate electricity.
Optimizing LCOE in Utility-scale Solar Installations
LCOE is the metric used by the energy industry to determine how long it will take to pay back the system design and installation and begin turning a profit, similar to the concept of payback in residential and commercial energy systems.
Generating Recurring Revenue with Active Monitoring of Solar Systems
If the installer offers the first year of monitoring for free to every customer, we have found that around 90% of people renew the next year, establishing an ongoing annual relationship that didn't exist before.
Solar Panel Cleaning and the Importance of Preventative Maintenance
There are several challenges, mainly due to the area where the cleaning is needed. For example, in Saudi Arabia, there are a lot of sandstorms. Therefore, the panels need to be dry cleaned almost every day.
All-in-One Energy Storage System
When solar or shore power is available, the solar inverter charger can use the solar or shore power to charge the lithium iron phosphate batteries and keep the batteries topped off.
Understanding the Chemistries of Deep-Cycle Batteries
Advancements in battery chemistry and design have allowed deep-cycle batteries to deliver longer cycle life and higher capacity and cycle-up to full rated capacity faster than previous designs.
Recent Unique Advances in the Applications of Solar Energy to Benefit Us on a Day to Day Basis
As civilization grows the energy needed to support our lifestyles increases daily, requiring us to find new innovative ways to use our renewable resources such as the sunlight to create more energy for our society to continue making progress.
