Everybody has the power, but where is the heat?
There is lots of talk about power shortages and how we can produce even more power through solar or wind. It is true, nothing works without power. However, the current crisis in eastern Europe shows that we cannot only focus on power shortages. There is another source of energy, that might actually be a way… Read more »
The second generation of the original German hybrid inverter
Is it really possible to produce and store cost-effective electricity without being dependent on electricity suppliers and in an environmentally friendly way? The latest innovation from KOSTAL may have made this vision much closer to reality, enabling self-generated solar energy to not only be used directly, but also allowing surplus to be saved for later… Read more »
A simple and practical guide to solar panel maintenance
Solar panel maintenance is crucial for ensuring that the installed photovoltaic (PV) system remains in great working condition, both now and in the future. Many problems with solar panels can go unnoticed for some time and may end up being quite costly to fix. There are a few ways you can ensure you’re taking good… Read more »
The heat is on for sensor technology

Making the difference with ultra-black glass
Growth is rapid, demand is strong and technology is advancing, but letting high standards slip now is an unthinkable option for those companies who are innovating in the solar sector. Ultra-black double-glass panels present an opportunity to offer customers the best of all worlds, but where might this innovation go next? Belinus is a premium… Read more »
Kindling hope with the power of the sun
Shifting environmental factors constantly challenge the efficiency of solar arrays; dust, debris and shade can drastically lower power output. With a conventional ‘string’ inverter system, the least-performing module determines the productivity of the entire array. APsystems’ microinverters give more power, independently optimizing the output from each solar module, something that will no doubt be welcome… Read more »
