Since its entry into the solar panel industry in 1975, Panasonic has maintained a strong reputation for reliability and innovation. Originally producing amorphous thin-film solar modules, Panasonic pivoted to heterojunction with intrinsic thin layer (HIT) technology in 1997—a move that has solidified its standing amongst the top players in solar technology. Known for high-efficiency ratings […]

Solar Energy Policy 2025 As we step into 2025, the energy policy environment in the United States is evolving rapidly, becoming more intricate and contentious. Grid operators face the increasing challenge of accommodating growing energy demands while adapting to a significant transformation in the electric supply system.  Recent federal actions, judicial decisions, and ongoing investigations

Want to avoid holes in your roof? Ballasted solar installations provide an alternative to traditional attached racking systems, but they may not be for everyone. Here’s why. In the solar community, ballasts are a common alternative used on solar installations that are unable to penetrate neither the roof nor the ground. Building owners often do

Hybrid Solar Systems – With ever-rising utility costs and frequent power outages, many homeowners and businesses in the United States are exploring hybrid solar energy systems as a solution. Combining the best features of grid-tied and off-grid systems, hybrid systems use a mix of solar panels, inverters, and batteries to both generate solar power and

If you’ve ever wondered whether you can connect a solar panel to a generic generator, you’re not alone. Traditional fuel-powered generators and solar power systems operate differently, so making them work together requires careful planning. In this guide, we’ll explore the possibilities, challenges, and best practices for using solar panels with a generic generator, along

Solar Incentives – If you think living in a northern, cloudy, or rainy region means solar panels won’t pay for themselves, think again. Across the U.S., over 30 states offer subsidies or incentives for solar installation, making it a worthwhile investment even in areas with less sunshine. Whether through state-funded programs, utility company incentives, or
