Interest in microgrids has grown in parallel with our fixation about distributed energy resources. Their purpose is to distribute electricity within a localized network, drawing upon onsite generation as needed, with the capability of islanding and operating autonomously from the grid during outages. Frequently, the justification for operating a microgrid has been economics as in […]
What is PV voltage? PV voltage, or photovoltaic voltage, is the energy produced by a single PV cell. Each PV cell creates an open circuit voltage, typically called VOC. Under standard test conditions, a PV cell will produce about 0.5 or 0.6 volts, no matter how big or small the cell actually is. What is […]
About 20% of planned capacity for utility-scale solar projects was delayed in the first half of 2022, according to recent analysis from the U.S. Energy Information Administration, confirming reports from developers of growing delays. Developers are planning to install 17.8 GW of utility-scale solar capacity this year, EIA said. But from January through June, just 4.2 […]
