Perhaps one of the smartest solutions and most effective energy options is the use of solar energy for and the installation of solar thermal solutions for all those energy needs and requirements. Read the rest

If You Wonder How Batteries Work

/in /by

For those that have always wondered how solar and batteries work in conjunction with each other, there is a simple explanation.

How batteries work:

Solar panels charge batteries.

Solar batteries work by the conversion of the AC energy that is produced in the solar panels and is stored in the form of DC power in batteries to be used at a later stage. Read the rest

Recharge Your Batteries Using An Intelligent Battery Charger

/in /by

Many individuals refer to battery chargers as being an intelligent battery charger or a smart battery charger. It makes little difference what terminology is used to describe a battery recharger – a device which is used to replenish the energy into a secondary cell by coercing electrical currents through it.

The charging process always depends on the type and size of the battery being charged – dynamics such as how much voltage is required and for how long the battery needs to be recharged for, and once the process is completed, what needs to be done have to be considered – all aspects that are taken into the equation when charging all types of batteries.
