    Pulse Width Modulation, does it effect cost of running an electrical product.

    If I use a Pulse Width Modulator on say a fan, will it reduce the cost of running it, if it is slowed down? Not something I'm planning on doing, just wondering!

    The photovoltaic effect

    Question ….sorry could not able to find thread on this one. If my system is left off AC and DC is turned off what’s happen to all that electricity generated from the panels? Panels must be still producing something even they not connected to the inverter. Reaction inside the panels photons of...

    Client wants one more panel. Effect his FIT rate?

    We installed 16x 235 schot panels during the rush at the end of last year. Now the client would like one more 235w panel which would bring him in just under 4kWp (3995w). The inverter is 3.6 PVi and will take one more panel on one of the two strings. But i'm not sure where he stands with his...

    Largest Solar Activity today in years !!!

    Out of interest. effect of East/West split on one string?

    I wouldn't do it but a client asked about an east/west split on one string. I couldn't quite describe how bad the effect would be? Would the 8 on the east side(shaded eg.) drag the current down from the 8 on the west (sun shining on)? Or any other answers? Much appreciated

    Shading does effect performance

    Here is an interesting one re shading. A 30KWP system that we were installing went live today, sun was shinning evenly across the barn roof. The system is split into eight strings, then 4 strings to each inverter. The whole system had rigorous testing before "switch on" and all tested perfect...

    Voltage optimisation

    A client of ours are having an 800kva optimiser installed presently. So its got me thinking, as being as its basically another transformer (dare i say an isolating transformer? although i stand to be corrected!), will this effect the existing Zs values throughtout the installation? Rather like...
