However, you can use many of them on 48V batteries as well. This article will discuss some of the most commonly used solar charge controllers. You can find more solar charge controllers on ...

After China announced their official 2020 report on their figures in solar and wind system installations, plenty of analysts cannot believe what they have witnessed. According to China’s National Energy Administration, or NEA, the additional capacity for renewable energy systems is in a whopping total of 120 Gigawatts, which is an unrealistic number. Given the circumstance in 2020 where China has been the epicenter of the COVID-19 outbreak, achieving numbers beyond what all expected is simply impossible to happen. The official predictions by International Energy Agency and other entities won’t even exceed 50 Gigawatts on either ...

The 3 largest wind turbine companies in the West, namely GE, Siemens Gamesa, and Vestas, have been in constant competition with one another over the supremacy for the wind energy sector’s 3 factors of revenue: offshore, onshore, and services. It only takes one technology strategically introduced in order to propel either company into the top spot. Siemens Gamesa has undergone a recent change in leadership in the offshore department. Their current priority is sticking to what the offshore unit is best at and replicating it in multiple areas. Acquiring the company Senvion is a power move that aims to close the gap of competition ...

The energy delivered from electrical utilities has not increased drastically in price even though the demand is ever-growing.
