What will happen to the solar panels during an eclipse? In this article, we will see how solar power systems are affected when the moon's shadow passes by the solar panels. This will show you how solar eclipse affects the production of solar energy. A solar eclipse is a phenomenon… Read More
To calculate the solar panel efficiency, you need to divide the Wattage per unit area (Pmax/total area in sq.m.) of the solar module by the STC Irradiance value (1000W/sq.m.). This is the simplest way to get any solar PV module's efficiency. By this simple method, you will know how efficient… Read More
