With his solar panels and wind turbine, Alain no longer pays for electricity
Alain Bessero's house in Médavy (Orne) is self-sufficient in electricity. With the wind turbine and solar panels in his field, he does not sell the energy he produces. He consumes it.
Solar battery
Designed for photovoltaic or wind solar installations, 2V or 12-volt batteries known as "solar" have particular characteristics of slow and frequent discharges
How to use photovoltaic panels effectively
The sun is an inexhaustible and highly present energy source, especially in summer, on land or at sea. Solar panels are an efficient and silent way to have energy on board
How to properly orient your solar panels?
Solar panels should ideally be oriented perpendicularly to the sun's rays.
How to calculate the electrical production of solar panels?
The production of a photovoltaic cell obviously depends on the sun. Therefore, it is impossible to predict in advance how much electricity a solar panel will produce: production varies
How to choose a foldable solar panel?
A foldable solar panel is a solar sensor made up of electronic cells. These cells are exposed to light (photons) which simultaneously generates two types of phenomena: a voltage
How to maintain your solar panels?
A solar installation, whether thermal or photovoltaic, must be maintained. Without this, it is less efficient. Although a panel requires little maintenance, thanks in particular to the effect
Solar lighting: Solar lighting kit
Solar energy through a well-positioned photovoltaic solar panel allows all types of lighting, interior, exterior, from the simplest with just a solar lamp to the most sophisticated, for example
Campervan equipment
The sunny days are coming, and you will undoubtedly prepare your campers for the summer season, but what equipment should you choose to improve your comfort? To help you in your choice
Solar installation for isolated site
If the standard photovoltaic solar kits offered do not exactly meet your situation, you will be able to design your own autonomous solar kit for an isolated site according to your
Solar and wind turbine kit for remote site
Equipping yourself with autonomous energy on an isolated site requires being well-informed beforehand to choose the solution best suited to your needs but also to your budget. The mixed kit with panel
Solar kit for your campervan
Traveling along the roads, many of you want to do it. On board your motorhome, it is a priority to be able to power your electrical accessories. For this, the solar panel kit can
The difference between photovoltaic and thermal?
The energy carried by solar radiation can be harnessed by different technologies depending on the desired end use. Photovoltaic solar technologies transform this radiation into
What is photovoltaics?
The operation of photovoltaic solar is quite simple. Electrons are "energized" when exposed to sunlight. They then break free from their atoms and can thus
Installing a generator for a motorhome
Installing a solar generator for a motorhome allows you to produce your own energy autonomously for multimedia, water pumping, or in case of battery failure, restarting
The SUNGROW photovoltaic inverter
According to the results of tests on photovoltaic inverters recently published in the November 2010 issue of Photon, a German magazine that is authoritative in the photovoltaic industry
Back-contact solar panel
Back contact technology is ideal for applications requiring battery charging. It allows for a very high charging current despite very small dimensions
Monocrystalline, polycrystalline, amorphous solar panel... Which to choose?
Solar panels, what a story! It is really very easy to get lost in all the information you can find on the internet. What to choose when you want to equip your motorhome
Foldable solar panel
Solar panels can be installed independently, but also integrated into a home designed from the start to consume as little energy as possible: the passive house
Solar panels: how to properly assess the necessary power?
Whether your photovoltaic installation is fixed (house, isolated site), mobile (motorhome, boat), or portable (4x4 raid, hiking, trek) before purchasing a solar panel it is important to properly size
CIGS solar panels
Flexible, foldable, and waterproof solar panel or rigid solar panel, the new CIGS cell technology is revolutionizing the photovoltaic solar panel market. The cells are
High-efficiency solar panels
High-efficiency solar panels are photovoltaic panels that provide greater energy efficiency compared to "standard" solar panels. For example
Solar panels for isolated site
Are you isolated from the electrical grid? This complete solar kit is the ideal solution to power your electrical devices in an isolated site, without a generator or connection to the public grid
What are flexible solar panels?
Flexible or foldable solar panels have a special manufacturing process, consisting of encapsulating photovoltaic cells within flexible material sheets. They offer advantages
High-efficiency MPPT solar regulator
A new generation of high-efficiency voltage regulators has emerged: MPPT solar regulators (for Maximum Power Point Tracking, which means tracking the maximum power point)
Solar: to avoid falling into the trap
Are you interested in photovoltaics and have questions? Answers with Édouard Chesnel, from the Regional Center for Renewable Energies.
Solar tracker
The solar tracker provides much higher energy efficiency than fixed installations because, like a sunflower, it follows the sun's path along a motorized axis and generally
Find the best position for a solar panel?
As we have already seen, the efficiency of a photovoltaic module varies with the angle of incidence of the solar rays. The position you will give to your solar panels will therefore have an influence
What is a solar regulator used for?
A solar regulator (or solar charge controller) is an essential component in a photovoltaic installation. It controls the charging of solar batteries, protecting them against overcharging
Solar Simulator
Estimate in 30 seconds the actual production of your solar installation based on your power, orientation, and shading.
