K2 vs. Aerocompact flat roof solution comparison The article discusses the comparison between two brands, K2 and Aerocompact, offering different mounting solutions for solar panels. K2’s Dome 6 is known for its effectiveness in mounting panels on flat roofs facing south or east-west, featuring a well-designed structure for stability and optimal energy output. On the other hand, Aerocompact’s SN2 is a comparable solution with different inclinations and rail options, and although it requires more ballast, it proves to be cost-effective in certain configurations. Both brands have their advantag ..read more

Commercial Battery energy storage with backup A battery energy storage system (BESS) is an electrochemical unit that stores energy from the grid and then gives that energy at a later time to provide this energy. Energy storage in lithium-ion batteries is considered one of the most efficient. Commercial scale battery energy storage systems for managing electricity supply or providing services for the grid is a new solution gaining popularity. Its gaining popularity results from increasing needs for system flexibility, stability, and predictability for renewable power plants combined with rap ..read more

Canadian Solar Topcon N-type PV modules Canadian Solar was one of the first companies to introduce PV cell and module technologies that later became the industry mainstream, such as bifacial modules (back in 2010), modules with larger-format wafers (up to 210 mm) and, nowadays, N-type high-efficiency cells and modules. Since 2019, CSI Solar has been developing N-type TOPCon (Tunnel Oxide Passivated Contacts) technologies, and is now launching a diversified TOPCon module portfolio covering both 182 mm and 210 mm cells, single-glass and double-glass encapsulation, and various module sizes and ..read more
