The 1500 Volt Future Updated On Fri, Sep 22nd, 2017 by Saurenergy The 1,500 Volt systems had very quickly surpassed the benchmark of 1,000 Volt systems and became new normal globally. The idea behind the voltage increase is the same as it was during the move from 600 volts to 1,000 volts. It further reduced installation costs and increased profitability by reducing the number of inverters and […] Read more
Photovoltaics and batteries: an expensive combination Updated On Wed, Sep 20th, 2017 by Saurenergy Solar power can cover up to 40% of the electricity needs of a typical Belgian household. Going beyond that level becomes really expensive: using batteries coupled with solar panels would be twice as expensive as using the power grid. It is one of the conclusions from a research by ULB researchers recently published on Applied […] Read more
