Get-set for a Net-Zero Australia with Solar
The climate picture painted by much of the media makes it easy to be pessimistic. Fortunately it’s not all bad news. According to the Clean Energy Regulator (CER), in 2021 Australia set a new record for renewable energy investments for the fifth year in a row. Last year (2021) 380,000 new solar panels with a combined capacity of 3.2 gigawatts were installed, which means that more than one ...

How to choose the cross-sectional area of the power cable
The choice of the cross-sectional area of the power cable is related to the investment, the loss and voltage quality of the line, and the service life of the cable. If the cross-sectional area of the power cable is too small, the voltage quality will drop, the line loss will be too large, and the initial investment will be too high. Therefore, the appropriate cross-sectional area should be ...

Different Components of Solar Radiation
Many people have asked us for an illustration that gives a simple overview of the three components of incoming short-wave solar radiation: direct, diffuse and global. We've created a drawing that we hope will make this clear.Direct Radiation The basis of the measurement is a SOLYS 2 sun tracker pointing a CHP 1 pyrheliometer at the centre of the sun. The CHP 1 has a full opening view angle of 5° ...
