Oil-fired boilers are a popular choice for the heating of homes and buildings where natural gas is not directly available. They work by burning oil in a combustion chamber, which produces heat that is transferred to water or air through a heat exchanger. The heated water or air is then circulated throughout the building through […]

Net-Metering is a type of electric billing contract for on-grid household/business/rural PV system owners in accordance with which only the difference between the energy consumed from the grid and the energy fed back into the grid, a portion of the energy produced by the photovoltaic system. Thanks to Net-Metering you can considerbaly reduce your electricity […]

Photovoltaic Panels: How do we read their technical characteristics? In the datasheets of PV panels we often find a plethora of technical terms and specifications. Understanding what is what within a PV panel’s datasheet can become quite difficult. Here we will explain the most basic features of most panels one by one in order for […]

Special Programme for the Development of Low Power Photovoltaic Systems in Residential Buildings Connected to a Corresponding Domestic Supply Decision on the Programme published The decision of the Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources / DAPEEK/121501/5015/2021 establishes the Special Programme for the development of photovoltaic systems up to 6kWp, hereinafter referred to as the Programme, […]

Where can photovoltaic panels be installed? Photovoltaic Panels can be installed on roofs, or on the ground. During the initial survey of the location where panels are set to be installed, the installer will check the feasibility of the planned installation, taking into account: *The available space required for photovoltaic system installation (for every 1,000 W […]

How do photovoltaic panels work? Solar cells allow sunlight to be converted directly into electricity. Simply put, solar cells are made of semiconductors, a material that absorbs some of the energy of light and releases electrons. The flow of electrons is controlled by electric fields. If metal conductors are placed above or below the solar […]

Batteries for solar installations Batteries used for household energy storage are usually made from one of the following chemical compositions: lead acid, lithium ions. In most cases, lithium-ion batteries are the best choice for solar panel systems, but other types of batteries may be more affordable. Lead acid Lead acid batteries are a proven technology […]

The general range of the useful life of a solar battery is 5 to 15 years. If you install a solar battery today, you will need to replace it at least once in the 25 to 30 years of your solar system’s lifetime. But just as the lifespan of solar systems has increased significantly over […]

Many different types of organisations are developing and manufacturing solar battery products, from car companies to start-up technology companies. While a large automotive company entering the renewable energy storage market has a longer history of creating products, it may not offer the most revolutionary technology. Conversely, a newly established technology firm may have a brand […]

Capacity is the total amount of electrical charge that a solar battery can store, measured in “Ampere-hours” (Ah). Most home solar batteries are designed to be connected together in series or in parallel with each other, meaning you can include multiple batteries in your solar system to gain extra capacity. While its capacity indicates how […]

What are photovoltaic systems? Photovoltaics is the technology behind the most popular form of solar energy harnessing. It is the process of converting sunlight directly into electricity. The photovoltaic (PV) effect was first observed in 1839. However, it wasn’t until 1954 that scientists were able to discover exactly how it works. Historically, space programs were […]

Solar panels consist of many solar cells. The number and type of solar cells used depends on the resulting voltage required by the solar panel. For example, a common 12 volt solar panel will contain 36 cells. These panels are then installed in ways that capture the most sunlight. The solar installation begins with the […]
