Solar panels are increasingly becoming a popular way to generate energy, but do they attract lightning?
In this post, we explore whether or not solar panels are more likely to be struck by lightning than other objects.
We also discuss what you can do to protect your solar panels from being struck by lightning. …Read this guide!
If you’re living where there’s no access to electricity, then it’s a no-brainer. Solar panels are great! (And if you’re living in a windy area, you might want to look at getting a wind turbine (Amazon) as well.) But what if you have easy access to electricity? Are solar panels still worth it? Do You … Read more
In this beginner’s guide, I’m going to show you the ultimate basics of how to connect a solar panel to a deep cycle battery. And when I say basics, I mean BASICS (more basic than those solar power for dummies books). There won’t be any fancy terms or anything over-complicated (no talk about battery chemistry, … Read more
One thing you need to keep in mind when designing your off-grid solar system is that your solar panel array needs to produce a voltage that is larger than your battery banks’ voltage. So you’ll need to connect your solar panels in a series to get a higher voltage. (If you don’t know what that … Read more
Deep cycle batteries may look a lot like car batteries, but they’re quite different. Deep cycle means that the batteries have the ability to be fully charged and discharged. A deep cycle battery is very useful for situations where you need a continuous source of electricity to power things like lights, computers, and household appliances. But … Read more
While learning about solar panel systems, you’ll often hear the terms series and parallel when it comes to wiring batteries or solar panels together. Let’s look at both parallel and series connections separately. Parallel If you connect batteries or solar panels in parallel, it means that you connect all the positives together and all the … Read more
