With the world advancing towards automation and innumerable devices making our lives progressively comfortable, the threats posed to our mother nature are being not accounted for. One of the eco friendly tasks that an individual can easily go for is to opt for solar power. There are many places where we receive plenty of sunlight, [...]
Not the usual day it was. Very lovely weather. Mesmerizing for people working in Sun. We started to our site having hot tasty breakfast of our choice. We started with an enthusiasm that we will finish installation of 1000 panels crossing 300 kW on the project we are working. Started at our usual time 8:45 [...]
Electricity generated by a Solar Photo Voltaic (PV) system can be directly consumed by the load itself or can be  stored in a battery bank or can be sent out to the grid. A solar PV system in which the electricity generated can be sent to the grid is called an on-grid system. This type of [...]
Let's take an energy source like a battery or a PV module. When you draw no current from it, the voltage at it's terminals is called it's open-circuit voltage. When you connect any electrical load to it, current flows through it and it's terminal voltage decreases because some power is  wasted by it's internal resistance. [...]
We need Deep Cycle Batteries for Solar Panels. Deep cycle batteries can withstand a deep discharge. Your car starter battery may survive a 100 deep discharges, but a high spec Deep Cycle Battery can withstand about 1200 deep discharges. Solar Panels generate low currents and charge batteries slowly. 'Solar' batteries are optimised for high battery efficiency. [...]
If you go to their online store, you can see the Ah or Storage Capacity of a range of Exide Lead Acid Inverter batteries. With a terminal voltage of 12V,  you get Ah ratings of 180.00, 165.00, 150.00,  130.00, 100.00,  88.00, 80.00 and  65.00. To know which battery to pick, you must know your load current [...]
Any standalone off-grid solar system needs a Rechargeable Battery. Nearly everyone I can think of, is used to the idea of emergency lights and cell phones. In fact, battery life and charging time are two points of great interest in cell phones. Whether the source of power is the electricity grid or sunlight, we use [...]
