A growing share of residential solar projects now attach energy storage batteries. Attaching a solar array to a home is a long-term commitment, with many considerations, and one that offers great potential for energy bill savings. A recent addition to the list of options is whether or not to attach a battery energy storage system. A battery can often add $10,000 or more to the total cost of a residential solar system, according to EnergySage. But it comes with a range of benefits that vary depending on the home’s electricity needs and experience with the utility company. So, what are the benefits? Backup power Blackouts or power outages occur with varied frequency and for different reasons, depending on location. Some regions experience transmission issues on the grid, weather events can knock out power, and some regions like southern California have scheduled rolling blackouts during high energy-demand periods. A SunPower-backed survey of 1,500 homeowners found that 40% of respondents worried about power outages on a monthly basis. And one-third of respondents said high-profile outages, like the ones caused by winter storms in Texas this past February, are the top reason for considering energy storage. The next logical question might be:how much battery to install, and for how long should it provide backup? Installers typically give the choice between whole-home backup, which often require the installation of multiple batteries, or a partial backup, which allows the homeowner to select specific circuits that are tied to desired appliances or outlets. When selecting specific breakers, homeowners often select the refrigerator, garage door opener, home office, or other kitchen appliances. Translated to appliances, EnergySage said 13.5 kWh is equivalent to running a 3,500 W air source heat pump for just under four hours, a 200 W refrigerator for 67.5 hours, or five 20 W light bulbs for 135 hours. EnergySage said a PowerWall can typically back up essentials like WiFi, phone, refrigerator, and some lights for about 24 hours. Simulations run by the Energy Department’s Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory of residential solar and storage systems operated for backup power purposes suggest that a system with a 7 kW pv array and 10 kWh of storage could support 60-80% of a customer’s average daily load over the course of a year, depending on the region. Plus, if the sun is still shining, a battery-connected solar array will continue to produce and store electricity. Solar arrays without a battery must power down during an outage, for safety reasons. Without a battery to store the power, there is no safe place for the power to go, so the system must use a rapid shut down device (the grid is inaccessible as it’s being repaired). Solar installers will typically work with a homeowner to determine backup needs, and will evaluate the readiness of the home’s main electrical panel to be integrated for backup. In some cases, the installer will call for a main panel upgrade ...

Energy Vault's EVx energy storage system is comparable to pumped storage, using grid-scale renewable energy to drive motors when in sufficient supply and lifting 30-ton heavy block (instead of water) six-arm crane towers to certain heights.These blocks are lowered when it is time to send power back to the grid, harvesting kinetic energy. Energy Vault, a Switzerland-based supplier of gravity energy storage systems, has announced that it will build five energy storage projects in China with a total storage capacity of 2 GWh. The company said the projects would rely on its EVx gravity energy storage technology, and that it would work with Atlas Renewable Energy of the United States, Chinese nonprofit EIPC, China's Jacaranda Telecommunications and selected unnamed provincial and local governments to build them.

Is it worth to intall a rooftop solar for your house? Please feel free to contact Xiamen Xhfsolar Industrial Co., Ltd. for help. We provide solar mounting system solutions for homes and businesses. California utility PG&E has tested levels of residential solar power up to 100% penetration, and how to mitigate the effects of voltage and thermal overload via smart inverters and traditional transformer and circuit upgrades — with smart inverters shown to allow for up to 100% penetration at cost-effective pricing. In less than nine months, permits will no longer be approved for new homes in California that don't include solar power of some sort. It is still not clear what portion of these homes that will come with a contract with a centralized community solar plant, and whether we’ll see 70,000 or 125,000+ new solar homes per year. Regardless, utilities must prepare. Pacific Gas & Electric Company (PG&E) wanted to first better understand if and how smart solar inverters could address power quality problems as solar penetration levels on homes approach 100%, and then to understand the financial effects. The broad conclusion was that when penetration levels hit 100%, smart inverters — via management of Volt-VAR and Volt-Watt functions — could mostly keep the grid from experiencing significant voltage violations or thermal issues. They also found a very limited economic impact over 10 years, either positive or negative, when compared to traditional upgrades with a total net present value of -$4 per customer (net cost) to $57 per customer (net benefit) over 10 years.

Germany’s Federal Network Agency – the Bundesnetagentur – has reported 2,960 MW of newly installed PV capacity was added in Germany last year, with 376.5 MW added in December alone. That means the German solar market grew 68% year on year, with all major market segments seeing big rises in new installations as the nation his its government-set 2.5 GW annual growth target for the first time since 2013. The statistics for last month included 156.3 MW from 55 ground-mounted plants. Among those projects, only 15.1 MW were accounted for by installations up to 750 kW in size, which are not developed through tenders. Some 220.2 MW of solar rooftops were registered in December and 512 kW under the tenants’ solar power supply scheme. The full year saw 305 plants added with a total capacity of 6.8 MW under the scheme, falling well short of an annual cap of 500 MW for such projects.

According to the data from Wood Mackenzie, by 2030, China will add 619 GW of solar power to global solar power station. China will remain leader in the region and globally, contributing over 60% of Asia Pacific’s solar PV capacity by 2030. Analysts also predict that in a statement on the Asia-Pacific region, Indonesia will become the fastest growing solar market in the region. India will add the second largest solar energyin this ten years, by Japan, South Korea, Vietnam and Australia, but the Indonesian market will become the fastest growing market, from a small one from today’s 300MW. It is estimated to be 8.5GW in 9 years. The Asian Development Bank last year provided a $600 million loan to the state-owned power company Perusahaan Listrik Negara to expand power supply, which will largely contribute to this rapid growth.

Rooftop mounting systems showcased their evolution Facebook Solar racking and mounting manufacturers are constantly chasing ease of use in their products. They update designs to follow installer demand and industry trends, making racks and mounts simpler to ship, handle and install. Last year’s solar industry trade shows revealed that nearly every major single-axis tracker manufacturer solved the problem of installing solar racking on uneven terrain. This year at Intersolar North America, it’s apparent that pitched roof mounts are trending toward pre-applied adhesives like butyl. That follows a sweeping transition to smaller profile, top-mounted attachments that at first only worked on rafters and now have multiple drilling points to attach to the roof deck. While many mounting companies have their own version of attachments with a peel-and-stick adhesive, there are a lot of new features in some of the smallest solar panel components found in residential solar construction. Here is what I saw at Intersolar.  TopSpeed As mentioned above, many smaller-profile residential mounts have the option to attach to the roof’s rafters or deck. For TopSpeed, a new mount from SnapNrack, the deck is the place to attach. Another differing feature is that TopSpeed latches to panels before reaching the roof.  Two mounts are attached to a panel. The first panel row is aligned, adhesive is applied to TopSpeed, four 1/2-in. bolts are drilled into the deck at each mount and an arm protruding from the other side of the attachment aligns the following panel row. SnapNrack’s TopSpeed solar roof mount.  Z-Rack Ballasts are a common mounting solution on commercial rooftops and ground-mounted system projects where penetrating foundations are prohibited. Then there’s Z-Rack from SolarPod, a ballasted racking structure that can be installed on residential rooftops. Instead of using concrete blocks or other heavy footers, Z-Rack latches onto the peak of a pitched rooftop and uses the weight of the solar panels and the racking itself to stay in place without drilling any holes for attachment. The penetration-free racking has been wind tunnel tested for speeds up to 170 mph. SolarPod’s Z-Rack Tilt Leg Rails often need to be cut on residential solar projects to meet a system’s design parameters. That excess typically rail ends up in the recycling bin, but Pegasus Solar devised a new attachment to turn that scrap into supports. Tilt Leg is a preassembled mount that connects to the ends of scrap rails. It’s deployed on flat rooftops and can adjust panel angles from 0 to 35°. Pegasus Solar’s Tilt Leg Halo UltraGrip One of these mounts using pre-applied adhesives had to be included in here. IronRidge debuted Halo UltraGrip (HUG) at Intersolar, and unlike the other mounts on the show floor this year, instead of using butyl, HUG has a combination of foam padding and mastic adhesive. The goal of partnering those two materials is to let them shape to the contours of asphal...

Solar panel system  cleaning robot can be dropped off and picked up by drone Dirty solar panels system reduce global solar energy output as much as 5 per cent, but a start-up in Israel has tested drone delivery of a new autonomous robot to clean rooftop arrays Every day the dust settles on thousands of square kilometres of solar panels around the world, cutting the amount of electricity they produce. A robot designed by an Israeli start-up can autonomously clean rooftop solar panels system that other cleaning robots can’t access, increasing the panels’ electricity generation by as much as 15 per cent. Autonomous robots are widely used to clean large-scale solar arrays on the ground. Many work by sliding along rails to wipe dust, bird
