Solar panels are susceptible to a performance-affecting phenomenon. Known as degradation, it will affect their power output. Solar panels are designed to convert sunlight into electricity. Over time, however, solar panels will become less efficient at converting sunlight into electricity. …

There are dozens of different electric vehicles (EVs) on the market. While most people are familiar with Teslas, other automakers like Nissan, Volvo and Honda have released their own EVs. EVs are powered by a battery. Like all batteries, however, …

Have you heard of direct-burial cable? Like all types of cable, it features multiple conductors. Wires consist of a single conductor, whereas cables consist of bundles of conductors. Direct-burial cable, however, features a rugged design that allows it to withstand …

If you’re thinking about installing solar panels, you might be wondering whether they require a fuse. Solar panels, of course, are electric devices. Also known as solar modules, they generate electricity from sunlight. Sunlight will release the electrons within the …

Electric vehicles (EVs) have become a popular alternative to conventional combustion-engine vehicles. According to a report by Edison Electric Institute (EEI), the number of EVs on U.S. roads is expected to exceed 26 million by 2030. EVs, of course, are …

Coaxial cables are commonly used in telecommunications applications. Also known simply as coax cables, they are characterized by the use of a conductive core that’s surrounded by shielding. They are able to carry high-frequency electrical signals. Not all coaxial cables …

You can still take advantage of a solar panel installation even if you live in a cold region. Some homeowners assume that solar panels are less efficient in cold weather, but this isn’t the case; solar panels are oftentimes more …

THHN and THWN are two of the most common types of electrical wire. They are building wires that, like other building wires, are used in residential and commercial buildings. While they share some similarities, though, THHN and THWN electrical wire …

Inverters are an essential part of all solar panel installations. Whether roof- or ground-mounted, solar panels require an inverter. Also known as a photovoltaic (PV) inverter, this critically important device will convert the direct current (DC) output into alternating current …
