How a small PV project saved £thousands through innovative Electrical Earthing Design

Electrical Earthing Design in Renewable Solar Energy

In situations where networks are fairly simple and fault levels are low.  For example in most embedded utility scale Solar (PV). Earthing/grounding can have a significant impact on the cost to build (and connect) a successful renewable generation scheme.  A key part of the build cost is down to the raw materials, of which a significant part is the cost of copper.  Used for the control of surface voltages as part of a Safe Electrical Earthing Design.

Photovoltaics – A Sustainable Technology

Solar Panels

Photovoltaics – With the two exceptions of nuclear power and tidal power, virtually all the electricity generated on earth comes from the sun, by using sun-driven natural phenomena such as wind and rainfall, or by way of the ability of plants to capture carbon from the atmosphere by photosynthesis.  [Read more…] about Photovoltaics – A Sustainable Technology
