Mc4 connectors are commonly used in solar panel installations. The successor to MC3 connectors, they are single-contact electrical connectors that feature a plug-and-socket design. If you’re planning to install solar panels for your home or business, you may want to …

It’s no secret that solar panels produce clean energy. They don’t produce carbon dioxide or other greenhouse gases. Consisting of cells made of a photovoltaic (PV) material, solar panels are able to convert sunlight into usable electricity. Before investing in …

Not all electrical wires are made of copper. While copper is a popular choice of conductor material, some wires contain aluminum, instead. They are used for the same purpose of providing a conductive pathway for electricity. Rather than a copper …

As gasoline prices continue to rise, many drivers are trading in their traditional combustion vehicles for electric vehicles (EVs). A report published by the International Energy Agency (IEA) found that the number of EVs on the road has more than …

When researching the different types of underground feeder cables, you may come across USE and USE-2. They are commonly used to supply power to residential homes and commercial buildings. Underground feeder cables can be buried directly in the ground. They …

Photovoltaic (PV) cells are the building blocks of a solar panel installation. Also known as solar cells, they consist of a semiconductor material. Light will pass through PV cells, at which point the photons will strike the cells’ negatively charged …

A battery management system is an important part of an electric vehicle (EV). EVs, of course, are powered by an electric motor. Some of them use an asynchronous electric motor, whereas others use a synchronous electric motor. Regardless, all EVs …

To say the sun produces a lot of energy would be an understatement. According to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), over 173,000 terawatts of solar energy are blasted down to the Earth at any given time. There are systems …

Some types of cables are designed to transfer data. Known as data cables, they are commonly used in information technology (IT) infrastructures and telecommunications systems. Data cables look like most other cables. Rather than supplying the devices to which they …
