How Does The Temperature Coefficient Work? All solar cells have a temperature coefficient. This is a measurement of how much the solar cells output power decreases for every degree Celsius above the reference temperature (usually 25°C). Generally, mono-crystalline solar cells have a temperature coefficient of between -0.3%/°C and -0.5%/°C. This means a mono solar panel […]

The Power Equation: Electrical power is measured in Watts and is the product of Voltage and Current: Power (Watt) = Voltage (V) x Current (Amp) A simpler way to understand electrical power is to think of electricity as water in a pipe. The equivalent equation for water would be: Power (Watt) = Pressure of Water
The Solar Process: Turning sunlight into electricity for your home involves a few main parts: solar panels, an inverter, some cables, and sometimes batteries. Let’s break down what each part does in this simple guide to how solar power works. Solar PanelsThese are the heart of the system, placed usually on your roof. They capture
