My Journey to Renewable Energy: 7 Points of Advice for Buying Solar Panels
As someone who has always been fascinated by the power of the sun and the possibility of making our world more sustainable, it was a logical step for me to purchase solar panels for my home. But before I took this leap of faith, I wanted to make sure I was well informed. So I […]
What is the best inverter for solar panels?
Every solar panel installation requires at least one inverter. The primary function of an inverter is simple: to convert the direct current produced by solar panels into alternating current compatible with household appliances. The inverter is the essential heart of a solar panel installation, but its lifespan is considerably shorter than that of the panels […]
Home battery for solar panels
In the ever-changing world of renewable energy, solar power storage is seen as the next step in the energy transition. Home batteries for solar panels play a crucial role in this. They not only make your home self-sufficient in energy, but also contribute to a greener lifestyle. However, with current Dutch laws and regulations, a […]
Half cut and 1/3 cut cells
Half cut In solar panels, “half cut” refers to a particular type of solar panel designed with half-cut solar cells. It means that the standard solar cells of a panel are cut in half, creating two smaller cells connected in parallel. Its main purpose is to reduce power loss due to internal resistance and improve […]
Growatt ARK H versus Growatt ARK XH series
The ARK H Series/HV Series has the HVC 60050-A1 as its BMS and is compatible with Growatt SPA and SPH inverters. The ARK XH has the BDC 95045-A1 as its BMS and is compatible with the XH battery inverters. BMS stands for Battery Management System. Both series use the same battery modules(286176) and base or […]
What is the difference between a 1 phase and a 3 phase inverter?
Single-phase and three-phase inverters are types of inverters used in electrical systems to convert power from direct current (DC) to alternating current (AC). The main difference between a single-phase inverter and a three-phase inverter has to do with the number of conductors and the resulting current distribution. Single-phase inverter: A single-phase inverter has two conductors, […]
Optimizers
Optimizers for solar panels are devices used to optimize and improve the performance of solar panels. They are installed between the solar panels and the inverter and ensure that each panel operates independently to provide the highest possible current and voltage regardless of conditions. In other words, optimizers for solar panels maximize the energy output […]
Bifacial Solar Panels
Bifacial panels are gaining ground. A Bifacial (two-sided) solar panel does not have a white or black film on the back, but a glass plate or transparent film. As a result, the panel captures sunlight on both sides. Bifacial solar panels can be used on roofs with reflective surfaces. This reflects light rays so that […]
Is a dynamic contract with solar panels beneficial?
A dynamic contract with solar panels can be beneficial depending on several factors. A dynamic contract means that the price you pay for the energy your solar panels generate can vary based on various factors, such as the market price of energy at any given time. The benefits of a dynamic contract include that you […]
