Inverters are the cornerstones of solar PV projects. They convert the direct current (DC) energy generated by solar panels into an alternating current (AC) that the local electrical grid or an alternative off-grid network can harness. Their importance to solar power generation is reflected in their cost: They are typically among the largest hardware-related expenses …

How solar trackers boost PV energy production
Over time, solar panels have become increasingly efficient. The very first commercial silicon cells, produced in 1954, maxed out at only 2 percent of sunlight converted, and sold for $25 apiece. Their low efficiency and high price resulted in a staggering $1,785 cost per watt at the time; adjusted for inflation, the total comes to $17,000. …
By boosting ROI, the market for solar PV trackers continues to surge
Obtaining the fastest return on investment for a solar PV installation is typically the No. 1 priority for everyone involved. To achieve this goal, it’s vital that the solar PV array has every opportunity to capture as much sunlight during the day as possible, as this will generate a greater amount of energy and ultimately …
How the California Solar Mandate will Reshape Residential Solar
California has long been on the forefront of solar power innovation in the United States. According to the Solar Energy Industries Association, the Golden State had more than 18,000 megawatts of installed solar capacity through 2016, which was over six times more than runner-up North Carolina. The state has also pushed solar-specific regulations intended to …
