What is PPA? And why is it so important?

A power purchase agreement (PPA) is a legal contract between an electricity generator (provider) and a power purchaser (buyer, typically a utility or large power buyer/trader). Contractual terms may last anywhere between 5 and 20 years, during which time the power purchaser buys energy, and sometimes also capacity and/or ancillary services, from the electricity generator. Such agreements […]

What is a grid connected solar system?

PV modules use semiconductor materials to generate dc electricity from sunlight. A large area is needed to collect as much sunlight as possible, so the semiconductor is either made into thin, flat, crystalline cells, or deposited as a very thin continuous layer onto a support material. The cells are wired together and sealed into a […]

What are the possible innovations in the field of Solar Energy in the future?

People around the globe are bearing the brunt of global warming and depletion of non-renewable resources, making it crucial for us to come up with sustainable solutions that minimize our carbon footprint and greenhouse emissions. Harnessing renewable sources of energy, namely sunlight, water, and wind can significantly reduce our dependence on fossil fuels, producing clean […]

What is the difference between an on grid, off grid and hybrid solar power system? How does an on grid solar system work?

The solar systems can be classified into 3 different types based on their grid-connections. They’re on-grid, off-grid and hybrid systems which are a combination of both. The on-grid solar power plant is a solar energy generation system. It is connected to the utility grid. The electricity produced by the system is routed to the grid […]

What is the functionality of solar panels and how do they work?

Solar panels work by absorbing sunlight with photovoltaic cells, generating direct current (DC) energy and then converting it to usable alternating current (AC) energy with the help of inverter technology. AC energy then flows through the home’s electrical panel and is distributed accordingly. Here are the main steps for how solar panels work for your […]

How do solar panels work and what is the future?

Solar energy is crucial to our survival as a species, and thankfully, the industry is booming. There’s no plan to prevent manmade global warming from permanently warping the Earth’s climate without solar panels and the energy they can convert. “The role of renewable energy solutions in mitigating climate change is proven,” says the United Nations Development […]

What is the difference between Off-Grid and On-Grid Solar Energy?

Difference #1: Your Access to Electricity  Electricity Access with Off-Grid Solar With an off-grid solar system, you’re completely reliant on the sun and energy stored in batteries to power your home or business. If you opt for a solar system that is not tied to the electric grid and you do not have a generator, […]

Why harnessing the most abundant power source is creating a world of difference?

Harnessing the most abundant form of natural energy is going to be the future of man in the days to come. One Company, Bengal Sun Solar (I) Pvt. Ltd has been creating one milestone after another in this area of technology, thereby making them the most sought after solar power plant manufacturer in Kolkata. They […]

Understanding Solar Energy – Why and how we should be using this energy source?

Solar power is usable energy generated from the sun in the form of electric or thermal energy. Solar energy is captured in a variety of ways, the most common of which is photovoltaic solar panels that convert the sun’s rays into usable electricity. Aside from using photovoltaics generate electricity, solar energy is commonly used in […]

On-grid solar power system. How it works and what are its benefits?

With the rapid advancements of technology in the field of solar energy, more and more people have started installing solar power system. Of the several types of different systems installed across the globe, the on grid power system is the most widely chosen one. What is on grid solar? The solar systems can be classified into 3 different […]
