Self-consumption enables the generation of electricity to meet all or part of the energy needs of a home, business or industrial facility. Find out how it works, the differences between individual and collective self-consumption, the options with and without surplus electricity, and the main technologies used.
Albedo is the ability of a surface to reflect solar radiation. In the photovoltaic sector, this parameter is particularly relevant for bifacial modules, as the radiation reflected by the ground can increase the irradiance reaching their rear side.
A photovoltaic string is a set of solar modules connected in series to generate direct current electricity. Find out how it works, its configuration, its relationship with the MPPT, and the key criteria for sizing it correctly.
