The use of trackers can significantly enhance overall generation from a solar PV power plant. There is no argument about this. Trackers as a result are becoming quite common across a number of solar farms worldwide. A question hence naturally arises - can these trackers be used for rooftop solar...

Depending on who you are, you either love battery storage or you hate it. The facts are as follows: Storing solar power in batteries is not really a super efficient way of using solar power - as this process ends up wasting about 30% of the solar power generated! At...

For all its environmental and other sustainability benefits, rooftop solar suffers from one big problem - it is not a 24x7, reliable source of electricity. Unless of course you consider using a battery along with the solar panels; or using a diesel generator in conjunction with the solar panels. If...

When it comes to solar cells and panels, one of the most hotly discussed topics is the efficiency of the solar cell. As is well known, monocrystalline solar panels have a much higher efficiency (sometimes as high as 23%) at the cell level, while most multicrystalline solar panels usually have...

Consider where most large-scale solar power plants will be put up, and you will see remote lands, deserts and the like. Regions with a lot of sunshine, a lot of heat and a lot...dust. That pops up a question: Are the conventional solar panels we use good enough for high dust environments?...

For most customers, a solar inverter’s basic display is informative enough. But, in large ground-mounted solar plants and commercial & industrial rooftop solar plants, there is a need for greater degree of control and more depth in monitoring. Remote monitoring options offered with some inverters can provide basic system performance...

About two years back, for one of the rooftop solar consulting assignments that I did, the client, a small but highly profitable software company in Chennai, was keen on having the most premium solar panels. He wanted to know the best solar panels in the world, in terms of efficiency....
