You may have seen a new type of panel emerge recently with twice as many half sized cells. They are referred to in different ways, such as half-cut cells, dual cells, split cells or low internal resistance panels. Cutting the standard cell in half and changing the layout has been simple, but highly advantageous. We’ll explain why in more detail here.
Even a little bit of shading can have very detrimental effects, and not just to production. If shading is a factor in your installation, it's essential that you (or a solar consultant) understands it's impacts and the mitigating options that are available.
It seems flat out dumb. Why install more panel capacity than your inverter can seemingly handle? If you're struggling to answer this, you're not alone. Here we explain this concept that all good installers recommend and fix some common misconceptions along the way.
Previously we've only needed an inverter for solar panels, now we need one for our batteries too. So are there any advantages in purchasing one inverter, a hybrid, for both our solar panels and our battery storage?
