State-Of-The-Art A green power systems is more than just solar panels as there are many other components that are required, to include: Solar Panels Inverter(s) Racking, Clamps, Footings DC and AC Disconnect Boxes PV Production Meter/Socket Conduit and Wiring Fuses, Breakers, Disconnects Internet Monitoring Solar Panels (or modules) are made from…
Microturbines & Biomass
Microgas Turbines The deregulation of the electricity generation and natural gas industries in North America has led to the introduction of a number of new technologies for distributed power generation. For example, a handful of companies are offering inexpensive, self-contained power generation units based on small gas turbine engines. These…
(Concrete Pad) Commercial
Inverter | Commercial (Concrete Pad) One of the main concepts to understand when looking at commercial inverters is three phase electric power. It is the most common and efficient method of distributing large volumes of electricity by national grids worldwide. In a three-phase system, power is efficiently carried by a…
(Wall Mounted) Residential
Inverter | Residential (Wall Mounted) A solar inverter, or PV inverter, converts the variable direct current (DC) output of a photovoltaic (PV) solar panel into a utility frequency alternating current (AC) that can be fed into a commercial electrical grid or used by a local, off-grid electrical network. It is…
Inverters
A power inverter, or inverter, is an electrical power converter that changes direct current (DC) to alternating current (AC);[1] the converted AC can be at any required voltage and frequency with the use of appropriate transformers, switching, and control circuits. Solid-state inverters have no moving parts and are used in…
Types of Solar Panels
Monocrystalline Silicon Cells: Made using cells saw-cut from a single cylindrical crystal of silicon, this is the most efficient of the photovoltaic (PV) technologies. The principle advantage of monocrystalline cells are their high efficiencies, typically around 15%, although the manufacturing process required to produce monocrystalline silicon is complicated, resulting in…
