How to clean your solar panels?
A solar panel is an electronic equipment that uses solar radiation to produce heat or electricity. Those that produce heat are solar thermal panels while those that produce electricity are photovoltaic solar panels. In both cases, their productivity depends on the duration and intensity of the sunshine, the latter varying with the seasons and the […]
How are solar panels made?
This article will cover the following points: What is a photovoltaic solar panel? A photovoltaic solar panel is an electronic equipment made up of dozens of semiconductor cells that use solar radiation to generate electricity. When sunlight hits the cells of the panel, its photons are absorbed by the semiconductor material in the cell and […]
How can solar energy help farmers?
Installing solar panels on a Quebec farm is the next step in the evolution of sustainability. We already harvest and eat locally grown food, so it makes sense that our next step is to produce our own electricity where we need it, or on the farms that feed us. Being eligible for attractive tax incentives, […]
What is the difference between monocrystalline and polycrystalline solar panels?
A solar panel is an electronic equipment that uses solar radiation to produce heat or electricity. Those that produce heat are solar thermal panels while those that produce electricity are photovoltaic solar panels. Although they are more expensive, photovoltaic solar panels have always been more popular than thermal solar panels since they have more than […]
Grid-tied or off-grid, which is better for a solar energy system? And why?
Many people call us in search of help to get out of the Hydro-Québec network. But when we ask them to explain their motivations to us, we find that what they really want is to abandon the public network and stop paying money to the public service every month. Solar power itself interests them, but […]
How long does a solar energy system last?
This article will address the following questions: What is a solar energy system made of? Any solar energy system has the following elements: It should be noted that the accumulators and charge regulators are optional for network connected systems since Hydro-Québec acts as a virtual accumulator by providing you with as much energy as you […]
