EXPLORING SOLAR ENERGY LOSSES IN PV SYSTEMS

Solar photovoltaic (PV) systems harness sunlight to generate electricity, but several factors can contribute to energy losses. Such losses occur at different stages, from sunlight interception by solar panels to converting light into usable energy. One major source of loss is due to absorption of sunlight by panel surfaces and environmental factors

Pennsylvania's solar energy market is rapidly growing, thanks to incentives like Solar Renewable Energy Certificates (SRECs). These certificates offer significant financial benefits for solar system owners, helping to speed up the return on investment and supporting the state’s renewable energy goals. In this article, we’ll explore how SRECs wo
