Sunshine on a solar panel stimulates the flow of electrons in a single direction, creating direct current, or DC. An inverter converts DC energy into alternating current, or AC, energy so that electricity can be used in the home or sent back to the grid. And while all solar panels are technically DC panels—they all produce a flow of electrons in one direction—some DC solar panels have built-in #microinverters that can produce AC electricity. Understanding the basics of—and differences between—AC and DC is essential to empowering your customer with the right intel they'll need to invest in an array. We break it down further at the link. 🔗 #AuroraSolar #HelioScope https://bit.ly/3OUj95K

🌞 Fact Alert! Did you know that solar panels generate electricity through the photovoltaic effect? 🤔 When sunlight hits the panels, it stimulates electrons within semiconductor materials, generating an electric current. This direct current (DC) is then converted into alternating current (AC) by an inverter, ready for use in homes or to feed back into the grid. Knowledge is power! 💡 #SolarFacts #RenewableEnergy #PrimageEnergy #SolarPower #CleanEnergy #PhotovoltaicEffect #GreenTech #SustainableLiving 🌿

How do solar panels work? Solar panels, also known as photovoltaic panels, convert sunlight into electrical energy. According to the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, the amount of sunlight that reaches the Earth's surface every 1 hour and 30 minutes is enough to power our planet for a year. Photons are found in sunlight, which is a type of electromagnetic radiation. When sunlight shines on the earth and on a solar panel, energy is absorbed. Each cell is made of semiconductor material containing negative and positive receptors, similar to a battery. A group of solar panels is called a "solar array". When sunlight hits a photovoltaic cell, it releases electrons from the semiconductor. This creates an electric current. Then the electricity is collected and flows through negative and positive receptors on both sides of the cell. The amount of electricity produced depends on the number of photovoltaic cells in each solar panel، the more photovoltaic cells, the more electricity is produced. #solarenergy #solarpower #solarsystem #solarpanel #solarenergysystem

Some good news from Poland about the capacity market. My friend Piotr Wypyszyński decided to surprise me this morning with a hashtag #KnowledgeSpreading and the following update: After the recent regulation change that allows cable pooling (if you don't know what it is, please check at the end of the post), the Capacity Market Rules have been updated to allow hybrid systems to have different de-rating factors for each source, even if they are co-located. I am attaching a sketch with an example. If you have more questions, feel free to reach out to me, Piotr, or anyone in Photon Energy Group. We'll be happy to help. For those who don't know what cable pooling is, imagine you have a grid connection of 1 MVA and you want to connect multiple energy sources, let's say PV and BESS. Before this regulation update, the sum of the PV power and the BESS power inverter shouldn't exceed 1 MVA. With cable pooling, you can have 1 MVA PV and 1 MVA BESS, but you must promise not to inject more than 1 MVA.
