Welcome to Cleversolarpower ! I''m the driving force behind this site, which attracts over 1,000 daily visitors interested in solar energy. I''m also the author of a popular solar energy book, with over 80,000 copies sold and

How to Design a Solar Photovoltaic Powered DC Water Pump?

Power rating of the DC motor = Total wattage of PV panel considering operating factor of the PV module ÷ 746 W (i.e. 1 hp) = 3 hp motor The arrangement of the panels in series and parallel

Use of a bench DC Power Supply as PV input to a Smart Solar

To do this I need to control the PV voltage and amperage inputs to my Smart Solar 150/45 controller wired to a 48V battery bank. I will do this by removing the PV Panel connections and

Solar Automatic Transfer Switch

Test automatic transfer switch by disconnecting the power from your solar system and making sure that the switch properly transfers the power to your backup generator. With most models of a solar battery or solar panel automatic

What is a PV Simulator and What Does it Do?

To put the size into perspective, a 15 Kw PV array would contain 50 300 W solar panels (300 W is a common size for a solar panel). This would take up almost 1000 ft2! What makes a PV Simulator different from a

Do Solar Panels Generate AC or DC Current?

Solar panels generate DC electricity through a process called the photovoltaic effect. When sunlight hits the solar cells in a panel, it causes electrons to be knocked loose from their atoms. The solar panels capture

Understanding Solar Photovoltaic (PV) Power Generation

Solar panels are rated by the amount of DC that they produce. Solar panels should be inspected periodically to remove dirt, debris, or snow, as well as to check electrical connections. Since photovoltaics are adversely

Solar AC vs DC: Which Offers the Best ROI?

Photovoltaic technology works with direct current, which means that the power coming from the solar panel is pure direct current. However, this unregulated DC power supply cannot be used directly for utility applications.

A Guide to Solar Inverters: How They Work & How to Choose Them

A solar power inverter converts or inverts the direct current (DC) energy produced by a solar panel into Alternate Current (AC.) are two parts. The first part is the power optimizer, which
