What is The Difference Between Hybrid & Off Grid Solar Plant

Image
  Despite the fact that there are currently numerous different solar energy systems, solar power systems all operate on the same fundamental principles by solar power electricians . Sunlight is converted by photovoltaic (PV) cells into direct current (DC) power, which can then be stored in batteries and transformed into the alternating current (AC) that is used in homes by inverters. If there is excess solar energy, it can be used to recharge batteries or fed back into the grid in exchange for credits. There are many different types of PV solar panels available nowadays, so you may need to conduct some research before determining which one you need. However, at least your decisions are well-informed! Off-grid Solar Power Plant When enough solar energy is captured, the PV array in an off-grid system charges the battery while also inverting the AC current. The inverter, in turn, feeds the battery, which then powers the AC load for the entire house. As a result, an off-grid solar syst...

AUSTRALIA HAS BROKEN A WORLD ROOFTOP SOLAR INSTALLATION RECORD

Image
  Australia installed its highest-ever number of rooftop solar panels last year, according to Clean Energy Regulator data analyzed by Australia’s national science agency, CSIRO. The CER’s data shows that in 2020, more than 362,000 rooftop PV systems received small-scale renewable energy scheme certificates (STCs) under the Small-scale Renewable Energy Scheme. This number represents an increase of 28% from 2019, which saw 283,991 installations getting their STCs. The majority of these installations were residential, too, with only a small number being industrial or  commercial installations .  Australia has an appetite for science-led innovations CSIRO Chief Executive Dr. Larry Marshall said the analysis showed a strong appetite for science-led innovation in Australia. Dr. Larry Marshall, the CE of CSIRO, said that this analysis was evidence that Australians have a large appetite for science and its innovations. The CSIRO has also projected the energy future for more than...

RECORD SOLAR UPTAKE IN AUSTRALIAN HOMES

Image
While many industries suffer from supply chain issues and general economic downturn thanks to Covid-19, the solar industry experienced a great 2021. In a huge boost for Australia’s green revolution and decreasing our reliance on fossil fuels, Aussie’s have continued installing  solar energy systems  at record rates. In the 12 months to December 31, 2021, the Clean Energy Regulator (CER) reported a massive 3000MW of small-scale solar technology was added to grids in Australia. This is an increase from the 2964MW installed in the previous 12 months. Australia embracing the switch to solar The CER reports that there can be up to 12 months of lag when reporting the new solar installations around the country, so they estimate the figures could be even higher than 3,000MW. To put this into perspective, Australia’s largest power station – a coal-fired plant at Eraring in NSW – generates 2,880MW. The new residential solar installations across Australia, therefore, contribute more clea...
