In today’s world, people are looking for ways to be more energy efficient and save money. One way to do this is to use solar power. Solar power is a renewable resource that can be used to power your home or business. If you are thinking about switching to solar power, you may be wondering …
Openness in solar shades is a measure of how much light the shade will allow to pass through. A higher openness rating means more light will be able to pass through the shade, while a lower openness rating means less light will be able to pass through. Solar shades with a 5 openness rating are …
It is a common misconception that solar panels do not work when they are wet. However, this is not the case. Solar panels are designed to work in all weather conditions, including rain and snow. When solar panels get wet, the water does not damage the cells. Instead, the water actually helps to cool the …
Few days ago, physicists began to notice a discrepancy between the number of solar neutrinos predicted by theory and those observed on Earth. This became known as the solar neutrino problem. While there were several possible explanations for this discrepancy, most scientists agreed that it was likely due to a misunderstanding of how neutrinos interact …
Energy offset is the Solar Radiation Management technique of reflecting a small portion of the sun’s energy back into space in order to artificially cool the Earth. It is one proposed methods of Geoengineering, and is seen as a potential way to mitigate the effects of global warming. The idea is that by reflect some …

In a home solar power system, panels convert sunlight into Direct Current (DC). An inverter then transforms this DC electricity into the Alternating Current (AC) that powers your home. The average home uses about 10,000 watts of AC power, so a 1 kilowatt (kw) system will generate about 10 kilowatt-hours (kWh) per day. This is …
