Efficiency of a solar panel is an important factor when using it as a viable power source – the higher the efficiency then the more cost-effective installation will be . Constant research is bringing results however, and developme...
Sun Tracking – Is it worth it for solar panels?
Sadly, solar panels are inherently inefficient. The most efficient are the monocrystalline type, which can reach 21% efficiency.
This means that for every 1000 watts of the sun’s ene...
Solar panel output winter vs summer
As a general rule solar panels work best in full sunshine when there is maximum insolation, which is the amount of solar radiation hitting a horizontal surface. Standard practice is to assume 10...
