Figure 1 If you’ve ever worked with solar power systems, PV plants, or industrial sensors, you’ve likely come across terms like Modbus RTU and Modbus TCP. But what exactly do they mean, and more importantly, which one makes sense for your setup? What is Modbus? Modbus is a communication protocol that’s been used since 1979. It was designed to help industrial devices, like ...
What size solar system would be ideal for my home? And more importantly, the solar inverter size? We want to assure you that you are not alone in this dilemma. Every second person struggles to find the perfect solar inverter for their home After all, the inverter is the heart of your solar system; it converts the DC electricity produced by panels into usable AC for home and business. So, it ...
If you’re planning a solar setup, whether it’s for your home, an off-grid cabin, or a camper van, one question always comes up: should you go with monocrystalline or polycrystalline panels? They both do the job, but they’re built a bit differently — and those differences matter. Here’s a clear, down-to-earth explanation of how the two types of panels stack up, and ...
Optimize Efficiency, Safety, and Longevity with Today’s Smart Charging TechnologiesIn the rapidly evolving world of off-grid power systems, the solar charge controller is the unsung hero that governs how your photovoltaic (PV) array interacts with your lithium battery bank.

AMI system is mainly composed of AMI electricity meter, communication network, metering data management system (MDMS), home area network(HAN), is a two-way communication system between AMI power meter and power operator, providing real-time energy consumption data for power companies, and providing correct ...
Alexander Graham Bell (the telephone) and Thomas Edison (electricity) were two of the greatest groundbreaking pioneers in history. Imagine if the two were alive today to witness the evolution of their thinking. While the chances are pretty good that Bell would have no idea what a smartphone was, Edison’s electrical transmission lines are, conversely, still a mainstay today. Acknowledging ...
