Power optimisers for PV systems – what’s behind them?

Optimisers for PV systems are small devices that are installed on the back of photovoltaic modules. Their main function is to monitor each module and maximise capacity independently of the other modules. This is important if the PV system is regularly shaded. In this article, we explore their benefits and find out when it makes sense to use optimisers.  (more…)

Solar parks: Additional yield through coating

A lot has happened in the field of solar modules in recent decades, and thanks to new technologies, modules are becoming more powerful and durable. However, this also means that older modules can often no longer deliver the same performance. But there is now a solution for this, because it is possible to increase the electricity from modules produced before 2013/14 by means of an additional coating. Today, we will tell you all about this method.  (more…)
