WHAT IS A KILOWATT HOUR? Kilowatt hour measures energy usage and production. If you’re thinking about going solar (or just want some advice on how to reduce your energy consumption), you’ve probably come across the term kilowatt-hours. But exactly what is a kilowatt hour? And why do we need to know how many we use […]
Do I need Modified Sine Wave or Pure Sine Wave Inverter? Advantages of Pure Sine Wave inverters over modified sine wave inverters: a) Output voltage wave form is pure sine wave with very low harmonic distortion and clean power like utility-supplied electricity. b) Inductive loads like microwave ovens and motors run faster, quieter and cooler. […]
What size inverter should I buy? We carry many different sizes, and several brands of power inverters. See our Inverters Products for specifications on each of Prostar Inverter models. Short Answer: The size you choose depends on the watts (or amps) of what you want to run (find the power consumption by referring to the specification plate […]
We know that solar energy is definitely a good thing, but very few of us are aware of its benefits. Thereby, this blog post is all about some benefits of solar inverter. Why is this inverter considered as the most reliable home inverter? To get the answer, just read on: Eco-friendly and reasonable: Solar energy is the cleanest […]
If you’re looking for a promising career, and care about the environment, consider being a solar panel installer. As CNBC reports, the economy is projected to swell by 11.5 million jobs over the next decade—and a significant portion of this growth will come from the workers who assemble, install, and maintain solar panel systems on roofs […]
A grid-tied electrical system, also called tied to grid or grid tie system, is a semi-autonomous electrical generation or grid energy storage system which links to the mains to feed excess capacity back to the local mains electrical grid. When insufficient electricity is available, electricity drawn from the mains grid can make up the shortfall. […]
A new study shows that wind, water and solar generators can theoretically result in a reliable, affordable national grid when the generators are combined with inexpensive storage. Over the last few years, Mark Jacobson, a Stanford professor of civil and environmental engineering, and his colleague, Mark Delucchi of the University of California, Berkeley, have produced […]
