Introduction to Solar PV ModulesTo understand the basics of photovoltaics, we must first come to the building block of solar panels which are known as solar cells and their types, interconnections and ratings as per industry standards. In photovoltaics, many cells combine to form a solar panel and many panels

IntroductionUp until now, traditional photovoltaic solar panel systems have been the lifeblood of the solar industry, as they are a well-proven technology which saves a lot of money for homeowners. However, sometimes the hassle and expenses associated with rooftop panel installations drive people away from adopting solar power. This has

Introduction: On and off-grid systems and the need for batteriesPhotovoltaic systems can be classified as on-grid and off-grid. On-gridsystems are hybrid systems where the electricity grid and the PV system both act as the sources of power. Mostly, residential PV systems are on-grid systems. If the solar panels are producing

IntroductionTypically, traditional crystalline solar cells are made of silicon. Instead of silicon, an organic solar cell uses carbon-based materials and organic electronics to produce electricity from the sun as a semiconductor. “Plastic solar cells” or “polymer solar cells” are also sometimes referred to as organic cells. In their physical structure,

IntroductionHomes and businesses are by far the most common and widely used on-grid or grid-tie solar systems. These systems do not need batteries and are connected to the public electricity grid, using either solar inverters or micro-inverters. Any excess solar power you generate is exported to the electricity grid and

IntroductionTo begin with, the dystopian danger of fossil fuel’s depletion has started to become a real threat in day to-day life. To mitigate this threat, industries from all over the world are moving towards more sustainable energy sources and from all those energy options PV and wind are the
