READ | The Tier System for rating solar panel manufacturers

The tier system
If you’re serious about running an efficient household or commercial property, then it’s imperative to select the right solar panels. Panels differ in manufacturing quality and output, and for most, the purchase decision hinges on finding a good balance between affordability and quality. Panels are not all created equal, making the choice of brand vital. Consider turning to tier 1 solar panel manufacturers first. Tier 1 solar panel manufacturers are defined as those that: • Have been producing solar panels for 5 years or more • Are either publicly listed on a stock exchange or have a strong an...

LEARN | Understanding Solar Panels

Types of solar panels
If you’re considering investing in a solar system, the best place to start is by educating yourself... In this article, we’re giving you a basic understanding of the types of solar panels. What is a solar panel? A ‘solar panel’ is a commonly used term for a Photovoltaic (PV) module. It is an assembly of PV cells mounted or housed in a framework for installation. Inside this framework is a silicone cell protected by a thick and clear sheet of protective glass. A collection of PV modules is called a PV or solar panel, and a sy...

LEARN | The Value of Partial Discharge Data

Sparks
What is Partial Discharge?  A partial discharge (PD) is an electrical discharge or spark that bridges a small portion of the high voltage insulation between two conducting electrodes or a conducting electrode and earth. Partial discharge can occur at any point in the insulation system, where the electric field strength exceeds the breakdown strength of the insulating material. PD activity can have a detrimental effect on your MV and HV assets.  Click here ...

LEARN | Solar Funding Models

Magnet solar array
If you’re looking into investing in a solar system, first consider this important question… How will you fund the installation? In this article, we’re discussing the different financial models to fund solar systems.   There are 3 solar funding models in the market: 1. Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) 2. Lease 3. Outright purchase Obviously models do vary, but the fundamentals are generally the same. Familiarise yourself with the pro’s and con’s we’re highlighting in each option, and decide which is the most suitable ...

LEARN | Understanding Transient Surging

Transient
The electrical event that produces the most significant downtime is the transient. A transient is also known as a spike or surge, although, generally these terms refer loosely to the same event. Transients are high energy (with magnitudes in the thousands of volts) and short duration (with rise times in the 1 to 10 microsecond range). Since they are sub-cycle events, they should not be confused with longer duration events such as swells or temporary over-voltages. Click here...

Inverters explained
The inverter is a fundamental part of every solar or back-up power installation. Hence, understanding this piece of equipment is important in ensuring you choose the right inverter for your application. In this article, we’re taking you into the world of inverters - giving you a basic understanding of what inverters are, and describing the different types of inverters. Understanding inverters Before discussing what inverters are, it is important to first understand that there are two types of electricity – alternating curren...
