Solar and Renewable Energy

A solar inverter is an electrical converter which changes the direct current (DC) electricity captured by solar panels, into alternating current (AC), which is the standard flow of electricity required for electrical circuits and domestic appliances.

Solar inverters work by doing the following:

1. DC electricity is channelled through a transformer.
2. The transformer lowers the voltage and changes to AC.
3. The DC runs through two or more transistors.

Solar Mounting Structures are critical components that ensure the efficiency of a solar power system in both utility and rooftop applications. These frameworks allow panels to rest comfortably at the right angle which helps in maximizing energy generation.

There are five primary types of solar mounting structures.

1. RCC Roof Mounts
2. Ground Mounts
3. Solar Carports
4. Shed Mounts
5. Tracking structures

Our Solar Energy monitoring is an innovative and adapting system that leverages the power of the Internet of Things to optimise the performance and maintenance of solar panel networks.The most prevalent use of solar panel systems, IoT sensors and IoT devices integrated with an industrial solar panel farm are industrial applications.

Embedded and auxiliary IoT systems provide real-time data on various key factors that affect performance, such as temperature, voltage/current output characteristics, and sunlight intensity.

Other key factors, including irradiance, debris, dirt, and damage, are monitorable by our IoT systems, allowing for proactive maintenance and immediate repairs.This level of remote monitoring improves overall efficiency and reduces downtime, meaning that operators and owners can save operational costs and limit down-time or inefficient operational conditions.

SCADA stands for Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition. SPP SCADA system is a complex monitoring and control mechanism used especially in Solar Power Plant (SPP) applications. This system is designed to ensure efficient management of energy production.

The SPP SCADA system offers real-time data collection and monitoring in power plants. Below is a simple explanation of how the system works:

Data Collection
RTUs collect data from the field and send it to the central computer.

Data Processing
The collected data is processed for analysis and control purposes.

Monitoring and Control
The system monitors energy production and intervenes when necessary.

Reporting
Generates detailed reports on production.

The main purpose of the Fuel Save Controller is to save fuel by substituting parts of the genset load with PV energy and to allow for a stable network operation at the same time.

The system’s design suits installation into the local grid with existing fuel generator units. The fuel save controller manages the performance of fuel generators according to the grid demand and the power supply from the PV system. Fuel generators are used only if the PV system does not produce enough electricity.
