Mixed Bag
The type of electrical conversion that a solar inverter performs.
What is DC to AC?
The ideal roof orientation for solar panels in Canada, where panels receive the most sunlight throughout the day.
What is south-facing?
Can be calculated by divided kW size by 1.3.
What is required inverter size?
The minimum distance from hub required for travel adder.
What is 50km?
Standard battery adder rating(kWh).
What is 10kWh?
A system component that helps to maintain optimal power output by isolating panels in the case of shading or other inefficiencies.
What is a power optimizer?
This is the name of the system design phase where solar installation specialists analyze factors like breaker box rating & roof vents on site to further calculate the ideal system configuration.
What is site survey?
The phenomenon that occurs when a solar inverter is unable to convert all the available power generated by the solar panels because the inverter's capacity is exceeded.
What is clipping?
The minimum system size to qualify for discount.
What is 7.5kW?
The abbreviation for a type of thin-film solar technology is known for being flexible, lightweight, and capable of being integrated into various surfaces like roofs, windows, and even vehicles. It's made from a combination of gallium, indium, copper, and selenide, which enables it to absorb light efficiently.
What are CIGS (Copper Indium Gallium Selenide) solar cells?
The process by which solar panels convert sunlight directly into electricity.
What is the photovoltaic effect?
Typically 0.5% to 1% per year.
What is the rate of panel degradation?
This energy solution is rapidly gaining popularity in Canada, often paired with solar systems to provide independent energy security for homeowners.
What is a home battery storage system?
The minimum roof slope needed for a roof slope adder.
What is 7/12?
This innovative battery technology uses abundant, non-toxic materials to store energy, offering a cost-effective and sustainable solution for long-term energy storage.
What is a silicon-based battery?(sand)
A group of solar panels working together to generate electricity.
What is a solar array?
This factor significantly affects solar panel performance and is measured in W/m².
What is solar irradiance?
A type of coating applied to solar panels that helps to reduce dirt buildup and improve panel performance by minimizing the need for frequent cleaning.
What is ceramic non-stick coating?
Can be added for $3,307.50 flat.
What is aeroseal duct sealing?
This advanced solar technology involves layering multiple materials that capture different wavelengths of light, increasing the overall efficiency of the solar cells.
What are tandem solar cells?
Panels from top manufacturers known for their high quality, performance, and durability.
What are Tier 1 panels?
This term refers to overheating in solar systems, which can reduce the lifespan and efficiency of panels and is often caused by poor ventilation or incorrect panel tilt.
What is thermal runaway in solar systems?
Up to 440W w/ S440
Up to 505W w/ P505
What is the Solar Edge maximum continuous power per module
The only charity adder.
