With the sun’s infinite source of light and heat energy, solar energy is a great way to cut the cord and save a lot of money on energy bills. As technology advances, the world’s manufacturers continue to demonstrate promise in various solar energy technologies. Here are three of the most recent solar energy technologies that have the potential to transform the entire industry by 2022 well beyond.
Micro-Inverters That Save Energy
Micro-inverters are small, lightweight, and extremely efficient units that convert the direct current (DC) generated by solar panels into alternating current (AC). Inverters are typically mounted close to the PV array to reduce energy losses and operational costs.
Hoymiles Power Electronics of China unveiled today its ultra-powerful, energy-saving HMS-2000 micro-inverter capable of connecting 4-in-1 components, which reduces energy expenditure, losses, and installation time due to lower module installation requirements for solar panels.
High-Efficiency Solar Panels
The higher the wattage and efficiency of the solar panel, the more solar cells can capture sunlight and convert it into usable electricity. This is the primary reason Panasonic keeps researching, resulting in the 410/400W EverVolt H series of solar panels. According to the manufacturer, the panels have a 22.6% efficiency and can generate up to 400-410W of electricity for any home.
Solar Shingles for Easy Installation
Solar Shingles are a terrific renewable energy source for areas with high sun incidence. They are more visually appealing and discrete than conventional photovoltaic panels because they are built into the roof structure and no longer added later. There are a few sun tile alternatives that look exactly like slate stone Shingles or ceramic tiles and go completely unnoticed. They are an excellent option for restoring homes in conservation
