According to a recent report by the International Energy Agency, the growth of solar energy is expected to continue to outpace other forms of renewable energy. This comes as no surprise, given that solar photovoltaic (PV) systems have already become increasingly affordable, while technological advances in this field continue to make solar energy an even more cost-competitive way to generate clean ...
Solar Photovoltaic (PV) systems have grown in popularity due to their increasing efficiency, affordability, and environmental benefits. One of the key decisions that customers have to make is whether to install roof-mounted PV systems or ground-mounted PV systems. Each system has its advantages and disadvantages, which we'll explore in this blog. Roof Mounting PV Systems Roof-mounted PV systems ar...
In the face of increasing global demand for renewable energy, solar power stands as an environmentally friendly and sustainable solution. However, harnessing the full potential of solar energy requires efficient and reliable solar mounting systems. These systems play a crucial role in securely and effectively installing solar panels, optimizing their performance, and ensuring long-term durability....
Solar energy is becoming increasingly accessible and affordable to homeowners, making it a popular choice for alternative energy sources. However, many people are still unsure about the solar power capability of their homes, often asking whether a 5kW solar system can run a house. Such a question is a complex one, and depends on several factors, including the household's energy consumption, locati...
Rooftop solar mounting systems installations are heavily penalized in Cambodia, with solar arrays capped at 50% of the contracted load and charged a monthly capacity fee. At the end of April, the nation's Ministry of Mines and Energy published a document, “Principles for permitting the use of rooftop solar power in Cambodia” that outlines new principles to streamline the permitting process of roof...
Building Integrated Photovoltaics The world has witnessed a significant increase in energy demand in the past few decades. With a rapidly growing population and increased economic activities, the demand for energy is expected to double by 2050. To meet this surge in demand, it is important to harness renewable energy and promote sustainable practices. Building Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV) is on...
As the name implies, the ground solar mounting system will be located on the ground. The main advantage of ground mounted systems is that there is a wide range of options to choose from, depending on your location, your needs and the proposed design. Ground mounted solar racking options you can choose from are: #1 Foundation mounts Foundation mounts are the most common ground mounted structures. T...
The Brazilian government, led by President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, relaunched the Minha Casa Minha Vida (My House, My Life) social housing program this week. Originally launched by Lula’s government between 2003 and 2011, the program was discontinued by Jair Bolsonaro’s government. Like the previous versions, the new program includes the deployment of solar mounting systems on a much larger sca...
What are Solar Roof Flashing Kits? Solar roof flashing kits are innovative and customizable systems designed to securely integrate solar panels onto rooftops. Comprising a combination of high-quality materials and technical components, these kits enable seamless installation and ensure the efficient function of solar panels on various types of roofs. Key Features of Solar Roof Flashing Kits: Durab...
Malaysia's Ministry of Energy and Natural Resources says that the tariff of the Green Electricity Tariff (GET) program will be increased from MYR 0.037/kWh to MYR 0.281/kWh. This tariff, which will go into effect on Aug. 1, is paid by domestic and industrial consumers in the country that want to buy electricity produced by renewable energy sources such as eco-friendly solar mounting systems and hy...
SECI has started accepting bids to supply 1.5 GW of firm and dispatchable power from renewable power projects with energy storage systems. The projects will be developed on a build-own-operate (BOO) basis. SECI will sign 25-year power purchase agreements (PPAs) with the successful bidders. The projects can be located anywhere in India. The sizing of the eco-friendly solar mounting systems should b...
