Until the second half of 2010, photovoltaic panels were used very rarely as a source of energy for greenhouses. Due to the opacity of the cells, the batteries could occupy only 10 to 30% of the greenhouse roof area. This limited the productivity of the installations and reduced the amount
The United States on Saturday ushered in a new era of space travel by launching astronauts into orbit for the first time by a private company. The two American astronauts lifted off at 3:22 p.m. (10:22 p.m. ET) from the Florida launch pad that once served the Apollo missions and
An advanced perovskite-silicon solar cell has been tested in various weather conditions. The tests have clarified how the current-voltage characteristics of tandem roof-mounted panels will differ from the corresponding parameters obtained in the laboratory. The design of innovative solar cells is usually optimized for laboratories. The panels are tested and
Providing private homes with energy from alternative sources is becoming an increasingly profitable investment. It remains only to make the right choice between solar and wind power plants, since the efficiency of each of them depends on a number of features of the installation site. Let’s try to figure out
For most Americans today, the ideal home should have floor-to-ceiling panoramic windows that freely let in sunlight. However, in summer, such windows get very hot, and in winter they serve as poor protection from the cold. As a result, households spend a lot of money on cooling and heating, and
In addition to Space X’s breakthroughs in the space industry, Elon Musk is making his other company, Tesla Motors, more and more successful. Another news that excited the automotive world was the news of the intention of the famous billionaire to start his own production of revolutionary batteries. At the
The German company SINN Power has gained wide popularity in Europe since 2015 as a developer of the most innovative and unusual energy systems. Over the past five years, the Bavarians have successfully supplied solar, wind and wave generators and batteries to the market. And in 2020, they patented the
On Wednesday, July 10, the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine signed a Memorandum with the European-Ukrainian Energy Agency and the Ukrainian Wind Energy Association (UAVE refused to sign the document) on the restructuring of the “green” tariff. In the current situation and the existing “green tariffs”, the state now simply
The number of SPPs around the world is increasing by about 20% per year. Their overall productivity and popularity among businessmen and the population is growing even faster. To understand why a solar power plant is becoming a serious competitor to fossil fuels, you need to start with what kind
When leaving the house for a long time – for example, on multi-day hiking trips – the owners of various electronic gadgets face the problem of recharging them. To date, the ideal devices for this are solar-powered chargers. In this article, we will present a brief overview of the TOP
More recently, I had the opportunity to test two variants of flexible solar panels from China. Perhaps the results of my tests and the useful information received can be useful to you in the future. Especially if you have a desire to order the right batteries on Ali Express. Now
Solar trackers are specialized structures whose task is to periodically change the orientation of photovoltaic panels or mirrors relative to the sun. The angle of inclination of the working surfaces is adjusted manually or automatically, which allows you to achieve the highest possible performance of solar systems of any type.
Despite the rapid development of alternative energy in Ukraine, the vast majority of the inhabitants are not even aware of the existence of our own production of photovoltaics in our country. However, such enterprises exist, and the products of some of them are in demand even abroad. In this article,
When it comes to installing large solar power plants, it is important to choose the right location for them. For it to be ideal, it is necessary to take into account certain and common factors for all cases: an abundance of sunlight, lack of shading, a large free space and
Energy derived from renewable sources is a trend all over the world today. The development of alternative energy is aimed at improving the environment, reducing the use of traditional (exhaustible) energy sources, the energy independence of both private households and the state as a whole, and also has favorable prospects
Solar energy is currently the fastest growing and most renewable energy source in the world. The relative decline in the cost of solar energy has made it available to more people than ever before and has led to an exponential growth in its use. Why should solar panels be recycled?
The storage battery is one of the most important links in the chain representing the device of the solar system. It is here that the energy received from solar panels is accumulated and subsequently spent on the needs of the consumer. The efficiency of the entire system, ensuring its maximum
Photovoltaic cells make it possible to generate electricity from sunlight, representing one of the most waste-free methods of generating energy. While this technology has significant potential for the future of humanity, it is not without its drawbacks. The dangers of solar energy include different aspects that the technology must overcome
Do you want to save on electricity or have an additional and independent source of alternative energy? Or maybe you are a supporter of green energy? If so, then solar panels are the topic for you. Solar energy, or what are solar panels The sun is the main source of
For many homeowners, one of the main motivations for switching to solar energy is its environmental friendliness. Thus, when using solar energy, the level of total greenhouse gas emissions (for example, carbon dioxide) is reduced, carbon emissions are reduced. But not everyone thinks that there is another side to the
