Mono-crystal or Poly-crystal Panels?

There are differences in the efficiency of production and photoelectric conversion between mono crystal and poly crystal cells. Mono crystal solar cells are made of mono crystal silicon. The surface of mono crystal solar cells is mostly dark blue or

How to Choose Controller for the Solar Panel?

(1) Check solar panel’s current parameters, the controller can allow the working current to be greater than or equal to 1.2 times of the solar maximum current (2) Check the parameters of the solar panel voltage platform. The voltage platform of

Difference between PWM Controller and MPPT Controller

PWM uses the digital output of microprocessor to control the analog circuit. The PWM solar controller solves the problems of insufficient battery charge and short battery life, but the solar panel is not fully utilized. MPPT solar controller is a so

How to Choose an Inverter?

(1) Inverter rated voltage: the working voltage platform of all parts of the system shall be consistent (2) Inverter power, the rated power of the inverter should be greater than or equal to 1.2 times the power required by the load, and the load sta

Battery Selection Principles

(1) Battery type: AGM, GEL, LI, etc (2) Battery voltage: determine the battery voltage and the number of batteries in series based on the system voltage  (3) Battery capacity: determine the battery capacity and the number of parallel batteries req

Cables Selection Principles

(1) Material: determine where to apply the cables, such as outdoors, indoors, poling, etc.  (2) Wire diameter: determine the diameter based on the current to be carried by the wire (3) Compatibility: match the joint/terminal  Check out our cabl

Can Ordinary Cables Replace Photovoltaic Ones?

Photovoltaic cables are designed to be used outdoor, with UV, high temperature resistance and other features. In the short term, ordinary cables would work fine. However, they will wear out faster and affect the lifespan of your system.

How Long the Cable Should be between the Battery and the Controller?

To reduce the power loss, the controller should be installed as close to the battery as possible. It is recommended that the length to be kept under 1 meter/3.28 ft.
