In recent decades, solar panel technology has evolved significantly, allowing for remarkable innovation. Advances include greater solar cell efficiency, the introduction of new and more abundant materials, advancements in manufacturing techniques, and flexible designs.
Today, solar panel technology has advanced to the point where panels now achieve conversion efficiencies exceeding 20% or even 25%. This means that solar photovoltaic (PV) systems can convert nearly a quarter of the sunlight they receive into clean, renewable energy.
These panels are known to be the most efficient in standard test conditions, with an efficiency of 22-27%. They are dark in color and have rounded edges.
These panels capture sunlight from both sides, which increases energy production.
These cells are a promising alternative to silicon-based cells, with lab efficiencies surpassing 33%.
DCR panels meet the Domestic Content Requirement (DCR) policy, while non-DCR panels do not.DCR panels are made domestically, while non-DCR panels are usually imported.
DCR panels are often used in government projects and incentives, while non-DCR panels are more common in the private sector.
DCR panels support local manufacturing and the domestic solar industry, while non-DCR panels may be more cost-effective and offer more flexibility.
The choice between DCR and non-DCR solar panels depends on several factors, including: government policies, project requirements, budget constraints, and long-term energy goals.
You can use a QR code to check the DCR certificate on-site. Once claimed, a DCR cannot be reclaimed.
Battery energy storage (BES) technology is a vital part of the transition to renewable energy and net zero carbon. BES systems store energy from renewable sources like wind and solar, and release it when needed.
Battery type:
Lithium-ion batteries are the most common type of battery used for BES, and are generally considered to have the longest lifespan.
BES systems are made up of rechargeable batteries, a control system, a power conditioning system, and a protection system.
New battery chemistries are being developed to offer greater stability, density, and shelf life.
These systems combine solar energy with other renewable sources like wind or hydropower.
A transition from centralized energy storage to a more flexible and portable distributed form of energy storage.
The integration of solar energy storage systems with smart grids allows for real-time monitoring and control of energy flow.
