PLC is a technology that enables the transmission of data over electrical wires. It’s commonly used in solar power systems to enable communication between different components. For PLC, no extra communication cables are needed, and data is transmitted over the original power lines.
A PPA is a contract whereby a third party develops and installs a solar power system on a customer’s property. The customer can then agree to purchase the system’s electric output for a predetermined period of time.
Photovoltaic effect is the generation of voltage and electric current in a material upon exposure to light. When the sun’s photons strike a solar panel, they are absorbed and induce an electrical current in three steps: Energy from photons hitting the panels knocks electrons out of their atomic orbits. These electrons are released into the… Continue reading Photovoltaic effect
Photovoltaic systems – or PV systems – are setups that utilize the sunshine to produce clean solar energy. They use semiconductor materials, such as silicon, to turn the sun’s energy into electrical power. Sunlight striking the semiconductor material creates a flow of electricity that can be harnessed and used to power homes, businesses, and other… Continue reading Photovoltaic system
