Thinking about solar panels for your business, factory or farm with commercial 3-phase power? You'll need an inverter to convert the sun's DC power to usable AC electricity. The new Sol-Ark 30K-3P-208V and the 60K-3P-480V inverters are heavyweight contenders for 3-phase power with battery backup capability. Here's a quick rundown of the Sol-Ark features and benefits in simple terms:Sun Powerhouse: These inverters can handle a whopping 39 kilowatts (kW) or 78kW of DC solar input with 30kW or 60k …

In a world where sustainable energy solutions are becoming increasingly vital, the spotlight is shining brightly on solar power. But what about solar batteries? Why should you consider adding one to your green energy arsenal?Firstly, let's talk about reliability. Picture this: a sunny day, your solar panels are soaking up those rays, generating electricity like nobody's business. But wait, what happens when the sun sets or a cloudy day rolls in?

One of the most common questions asked by customers is, “will a 10kW solar kit be enough to power my home?” For the average home in the USA, the answer is probably yes, but it will depend on several factors. So first let’s understand how a solar system is sized and what that means. We’ll look at four topics to answer this question: How power is measured in kW vs kWh How is the size of the solar system calculated What does the solar system produce How to work out the benefits and sav …

Scientists at the US Department of Energy recently confirmed that they have successfully re-produced nuclear fusion with a net energy gain in the laboratory. This is a tremendous advance that has the potential to transform our world.One analyst commented, “This is like the discovery of oil in 1860’s Pennsylvania. It took 100 years, but by the 1960’s we were driving and flying all over the planet, powered by oil.” LIkewise, the fusion breakthrough will not result in a clean power source for de …

The idea that only rich people can afford solar panels has ended. According to a report from Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory’s (LBNL), middle income households account for approximately 59% of homes that went solar in 2021. Going solar has shifted from higher income earning households to middle and lower income homeowners. This is in part due to solar becoming more affordable and ever increasing utility costs. The same trends are seen in households that have solar energy syst …
