What are the barriers to solar energy adoption?
The solar energy market is hampered by multiple barriers to adoption in the EU and worldwide, according to a new review. Researchers from Sweden and Spain found that lack of government commitment as well as various sociotechnical, management and economic barriers prevent photovoltaic technologies from being more readily adopted. The EU has a well-developed solar energy market compared to other ...

The 7 Things to Know About Chilicon Power Microinverters
All microinverters are the same, right? Not really. There are distinct differences when you consider not just making power but how energy can be managed and controlled. Let’s walk you through them. 1. Many microinverters work by measuring voltage. Chilicon micros work by sensing current. This is a real important distinction.An example would be in using one branch circuit, you could use ...
