During the 20th century three actsi.e. the Indian Electricity Act of 1910, the Electricity (Supply) Act of 1984 (and their amendments) and the Electricity Regulatory Commission Act of 1998 (Figure 1) guided the electricity market. The first two acts (and their subsequent amendments)provided guidelines tosupply electricity and enhance rural electrification. It was however not late […]
Read MorePhotovoltaic (PV) systems are becoming increasingly popular as a source of renewable energy. However, like any mechanical or electrical system, PV systems can experience failures and defects that can reduce their efficiency and longevity. In this blog, we will discuss some typical methods for detecting defects and failures in PV systems. One common method for […]
Read MoreThere is a lot of talk around the integration of Renewable Energy and AI in recent days, and seemingly there are many use cases available in the market on the same. Let’s understand more about ‘What is AI?’ The concept of artificial intelligence was developed almost simultaneously with the development of computer science. From the […]
Read MoreA solar pump system is an eco-friendly alternative to traditional pump systems. It uses solar power for its operation. It has a motor that utilizes solar electricity to pump water. Solar pumps are of two types based on the type of motor present in them: DC solar pump- does not have an inverter AC solar […]
Read MoreSolar energy has been gaining popularity in recent years as a sustainable and cost-effective source of power for homes in India. With rising electricity costs and increasing concerns about the environmental impact of traditional energy sources, many homeowners are turning to solar panels to meet their energy needs. However, one of the most common questions […]
Read MorePower generation with Solar Energy is increasing worldwide. It is happening faster than expected, and it is assumed that the installation of solar power plants will continue to grow. According to a study, by the end of 2022, around 10 % of the world's electricity will be generated using solar power. The report predicts that […]
Read MoreThere had been a lot of debates on ‘Why don’t we cover the entire Sahara desert with Solar Panels?’ Most of us do ask persistent questions, like ‘Why do we need to install Solar PV plants on our rooftops, as we have deserts available to generate solar energy at scale?’ ‘What if the entire deserts […]
Read MoreHave you ever wondered if you can use a solar panel at night? After all, it is one of the biggest loopholes of solar energy. Thanks to science and innovation, you can now harvest solar energy at night. At night the lack of sunlight cannot generate electricity – a disadvantage for solar energy. However, using […]
Read MoreSolar Energy or Solar Power plant in India has been proven a huge success during the last 10 years, especially when no one imagined, India has become a country to produce the ‘Cheapest Solar Energy’ on the planet. By technology itself, the solar power plant has an advantage over its other Renewable energy counterparts like […]
Read MoreYes definitely Solar and Wind energy can work together to be termed as a ‘Hybrid Power system’. Majorly the ‘Hybrid Power Systems’, are stand-alone in nature, due to their very utility. Source We all know the major drawback of solar energy, which is that it cannot work at night, that’s where Wind power comes in […]
