What is the difference between utility-scale solar and distributed-generation solar?

This blog describes the differences between utility-scale solar and distributed-generation solar. A utility-scale solar project sells the power directly into the electric grid. The leading solar PV consultants in India also name it as being ‘in front of the meter’. This is the opposite of distributed generation, which is termed ‘behind the meter’. Distributed generation is paired with the energy load of a facility that supplies the facility directly with power.  The distributed solar system can be installed on the house's rooftop. Also, the surplus energy produced can be sold to other companies. But this is not so in the case of utility solar. Community solar is a good example of utility-scale solar services. It connects ‘in front of the meter’ and has a large system than a distributed generation.  Another major difference is that the electricity generated from utility-scale generation is distributed among wholesale buyers, whereas distributed generations serve end customers.  Mar

Which cable is best for solar panels? What Types of Wire Are Used on Solar Farms?

One of the main components of solar PV cells is the cables and wires. They act as a medium through which electricity travels. Once the sun’s radiation falls on the panels, it is converted to AC through an inverter. When converted to AC, it travels to various electric sources through wires and cables. The Solar Industry Company India ensures that the network of cables is appropriately installed for the ideal performance of the PV network. Below mentioned are three main types of wires used on solar farms: PV wire It is one of the most popular and durable solar cables used by the experts of Solar Industry Company India . The cables come with XLPE insulation and bare or tinned copper conductors. This feature makes the cable UV-protected, moisture safe and ozone protected. It is a highly efficient solar cable that can withstand weather variations. With voltage ratings of 600V, 1000V, or 2000V, it can withstand a temperature of +90 degrees Celsius in a wet environment and +150 degrees Celsi

6 Potential Solutions to Solve Solar Energy Storage Problems

As solar energy is becoming a priority with each passing day, professionals are facing more and more challenges to bring it to the mainstream. One of the challenges faced by the leading Solar Industry Companies in  India is storing solar energy. The question of how to store solar energy is gaining more eyeballs than how to produce solar energy. But why is storing solar energy so difficult? Let’s have a look at the challenges and possible solutions.   Why storing solar energy is difficult? According to the leading Solar PV  Energy Solution  providers, solar energy production fluctuates over seasons and local weather changes. Solar energy is produced only when the sun shines bright. This means there are several odd hours when the panels produce no energy. Hence, storing the energy produced during peak hours is essential for later access. And this is one major challenge that professionals face with solar energy. Potential solutions to store solar  energy. Pumped-Storage Hydro
