Fridge – UNOCOOL 165
Reliable and energy independent cooling for food We are excited to introduce the new generation of save cooling technology by GLOBAL ICE TEC AG which is called UNOCOOL 165. This technology assures, that even with patchy energy supply, reliable cooling will be...
The principles of solar electricity
A solar panel generates electricity using the photovoltaic effect, a phenomenon discovered in 1839 when Edmond Becquerel, a French physicist, observed that certain materials produced an electric current when exposed to light. Two layers of a semi-conducting material...
Solar Inverters
An inverter is one of the most important pieces of equipment in a solar energy system, that converts direct current (DC) electricity, which is what a solar panel generates, to alternating current (AC) electricity, which the electrical appliances use. Solar panels...
What is a solar battery?
A solar battery is an energy storage system that homeowners can connect to their solar panels. It is usually made from lead acid or lithium-ion, and can store up the electricity that your solar panels generate while you’re out during the day. Lithium-ion batteries are...
How Does Solar Work
The amount of sunlight that strikes the earth's surface in an hour and a half is enough to handle the entire world's energy consumption for a full year. Solar technologies convert sunlight into electrical energy either through photovoltaic (PV) panels or through...
A Guide For Where to mount solar panels
Solar panel orientation The placement and orientation of solar panels is just as important as which type of solar panel is used in a given situation. A solar panel will harness the most power when the Sun's rays hit its surface perpendicularly. Ensuring that solar...
What is a Solar Charge Controller?
Solar Charge Controllers Explained Solar Charge controllers or voltage regulators protect the batteries from overcharging, subsequent gassing, loss of electrolyte and possible plate damage. Power from the solar panels is high voltage and can be damaging to batteries...
