Real-time monitoring of Solar Plants Solar plants benefit their owners by producing power in line with expectations for the duration of the plant’s life. Typically, a plant’s life lasts about 25 years. If a solar plant is not monitored in real-time, it will be virtually impossible to know when it is not producing what it
A Rise in the Use of Solar It is no doubt that solar power is the cheapest energy generating technology. It is currently available on the market for 60 countries across the world. In most of these countries, an investment in a solar installation would generate a 20% return. We are therefore starting to see
Recently on site at a new installation in Gauteng, we had to install a safety line to avoid the risk of falling from the edge while working. Unfortunately, the 136kWp grid-tied installation at Romans Pizza Head Office in Centurion is not the only site where we have had to overcome potential safety hazards. Solar safety
The performance of solar plants will be compromised when dirty. A dirty panel, depending on the amount of dirt, will produce 10% less than a clean panel under the same conditions. Dirt can come in many different forms. Air pollution, accumulated dust, bird droppings, grease or any other particles in the air that gets caught
Energy conservation by way of energy efficiency in the building industry has become a top focus for business owners & investors all over the world. Strategic investments of renewable energy solutions ensure businesses will reduce not only their environmental footprint, but also their overall OPEX. Cheaper energy production solutions coupled with energy efficient consumption methodologies
Sustainable energy is defined as energy that can be continuously restored without causing negative environmental, or health effects. This energy creation is harmless to the ecosystem, humans, animals, and pollution free. Sustainable energy sources are energy sources that can be continuously harvested for a very long time. This means that it is harvested and utilized
