In December, Dunn spent $194,000 on Phase 2, installing another two canopies topped with solar panels in the Eddie’s parking lot. This added a 75-kilowatt system for a total 99-kilowatt capacity.

The only serious draw back with my Volt was the GM software and User Interface (UI). The crazy matrix of tiny buttons and buggy software reminded me of Sir Edward Lutyen’s comments on the architecture of the British Hill Station at Shimla India, "If I had been told it had all been built by monkeys, I would have said, what wonderful monkeys; they must be shot in case they do it again." The Tesla UI is  great and constantly improves via updates and features on my smartphone that BMW wisely copies. Tesla even upgraded my 70D to 75D (5 more kWh) for $500 with a software flip that activated additional batteries already installed. Model S cost up to $78k.

Picture the scene: you’re about to embark on a long journey but just before you board your bus, train or plane, you realise your smartphone or tablet is low on battery. You find a public USB port nearby and plug in your device, hoping to get enough juice to see you through your trip. It seems like a pretty straightforward thing to do but public USB ports aren’t always safe and security experts warn that they could put your phone at risk.

The overall design is stylish, with a band of gold trim separating the halves and contrasting material on top and bottom.

Sol-Ark comes ready to perform the typical on-grid capabilities like time of use and grid sell back but also has a few unique options:

Furthermore, the government of various countries have taken initiatives to increase the sales of electric vehicles. In countries such as India, Singapore, Indonesia, Brazil, and MEA regions, the government has planned to invest more and welcome several electric vehicles manufacturers to set up manufacturing plants. Companies such as Tesla Motors, Hyundai, Mahindra & Mahindra, Tata Motors and others are leading the race to roll out electric vehicles soon. Apparently, other developing countries have also taken similar initiatives to boost the production of electric vehicles. This will enable an increase in demand for the hybrid system in the vehicle. Moreover, electric vehicles are eco-friendly and have several benefits to environment. Also, the electric car owner doesn’t need any government license and other certification to run the vehicles. The market is expected to reach USD 256 billion by 2023 at a CAGR of 5.98% during the forecast period.

The units are modular and scalable and range from less than 5 kwh, to supply electric fences and dam pumps, to 50 kwh for large-scale agricultural businesses. Once installed and commissioned, the ongoing servicing and operation of the SPS units will be provided by the vendors for a two-year period.

Depending on the illumination intensity of the PV cells, the load which maximizes the power transferred from them varies, and so the control system uses a real-time MPPT algorithm to load the cells for maximum power transfer. In the case of motorized PV panels, the MPPT algorithm can also be used to obtain the optimum orientation. Since the target of the algorithm is simply to find the peak in the power transfer, the accuracy requirement on the current transducer used is not demanding, and a simple open-loop transducer is ideal for this purpose.

Additionally, Whittten said that SEIA was not contacted for the report, and several recommendations in the report are already underway.

The benefits are obvious. A refrigerator with a digital inverter compressor consumes less energy than a single-speed induction motor compressor, and thus contributes far less in the way of greenhouse gases. Because the digital inverter compressor gradually speeds up and slows down, it does not have to work as hard to manage the temperature. This means that refrigerators with digital inverter compressors suffer less wear and tear on components and are therefore far more durable than fridges with conventional compressors.

Eight SolaX inverters have been successfully listed with Tigo’s UL-certified RSS solutions: TS4-F (Fire Safety), TS4-O (Optimization), and TS4-L (Long Strings). (Photo: Business Wire)

It’s not until we make our way through the stadium, that the battery’s role becomes clearer, as we pass suited officials working overtime in well-lit meeting rooms, flanked by newspaper clippings of Arsenal’s proudest moments. We make our way through the press area, through the passage and out into an eerily quiet pitch, where grow lights silently hurry the grass. Even outside of match days, there’s a flurry of activity demanding power around the premises.
