How do solar panels work?
Prostar Solar is gaining momentum around the world as more and more countries have begun transitioning to solar as a primal energy source. As the cost of solar energy has plummeted in recent years alongside major improvements in technical efficiencies and manufacturing quality, many homeowners are starting to look at solar as a viable alternative […]
Battery Bank Options and Wiring Solar Batteries from 6v to 12v vs 24v
The battery bank is one of the most complicated and costly components of any off-grid power system. Lead acid batteries represent a tried and true technology that has been around for years. Flooded lead acid batteries have the lowest upfront cost, but the tradeoff comes in the form of maintenance — every month you’ll need […]
What is kilowatt hour
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 […]
Solar Inverter: Your Most Reliable Energy Saving Partner
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 […]
Grid-tied electrical system
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. […]
Storing solar energy underground for a cloudy day
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 […]
