Any excess or surplus electricity that your panels will produce will get exported to the grid. You will be given different meters for measuring how much of the electricity is exported to the grid and how much electricity is imported from the grid to the house
What is Renewable Energy?
We’re the posterity we make future!
Renewable energy gives people the option to use low-cost and clean energy, which is also environment-friendly.
Some renewable energy samples include:
Solar Energy
Ever-evolving technologies such as solar heating, photovoltaics, solar thermal energy, solar architecture, molten salt power plants and artificial photosynthesis.
Wind Power
Wind energy (or wind power) describes the process by which wind is used to generate electricity. Wind turbines convert the kinetic energy in the wind into mechanical power.
Geothermal Power
Geothermal power is power generated by geothermal energy. Technologies in use include dry steam power stations, flash steam power stations and binary cycle power stations.
Hydropower
Hydropower is using water to power machinery or make electricity. Water constantly moves through a vast global cycle, evaporating from lakes and oceans, forming clouds, precipitating as rain or snow, then flowing back down to the ocean.

French Company Introduces a New Way to Mount Rooftop PV
Axter, a waterproofing system supplier from France, has created a new way to utilize solar modules on many different types of buildings. The company mentioned that this method had been checked by Centre Scientifique et Technique du Batiment, which is a certifying body in the construction industry in France. The process is named the Surfa 5 Topsolar, which is developed by Axter’s Center for Research and Development in Courchelettes in northern France. The process makes it possible to put stiff PV modules on roof terraces and buildings that have a bituminous waterproofing coating. Depending on ... Read More
Minnesota Utility Benefits from a US Solar Project
Minnesota Power has agreed on a power purchase agreement with the US Solar. The plan is to develop a solar + storage project to be placed in Grand Rapids. The project is an impressive collaboration between Minnesota Power, US Solar, Grand Rapids, the Itasca Clean Energy Team, and Grand Rapids Public Utilities. US Solar's chief operating officer, Reed Richerson, described the collaboration as the culmination of a pioneering effort between a privately-owned solar developer, an investor-owned utility, a municipal utility, and a city to provide Grand Rapids with clean, renewable energy. The project will also ... Read More
The Four Technologies Initiating Change in Solar Inspection
Inspecting solar fields is an essential part of solar power utilization and ensures optimal output. The challenge is now being addressed through the use of the following technological innovations: 1. Drones The use of semi-autonomous drones increases the efficiency of solar field inspection. This is also safer than the traditional way of using hand-held cameras operated by field engineers. The drones come up with better reporting and improved data. 2. RGB Imagery This technology allows a person to see what's happening in the solar field by using visible light data. This way, the people doing ... Read More

Why you need the Sun Mining?
Sun Mining was established to make people more aware of the use of solar energy in Canada. The move towards clean energy production is becoming more important as the years go by. It provides sufficient power depending on the number of solar panels used without the toxic greenhouse gas emissions.

The net-zero energy is achieved when the EnerGuide for Houses (EGH*) gives a house a 100 rating. It means that the house generates its own electricity and heat per year on its own.
It all begins with an efficient house design. You have to do it so that it won’t produce as much energy as it consumes per year.
To get this done, you have to equip your house with low-energy equipment, lighting, and appliances. You have to include the use of passive solar heating in your highly insulated and airtight structure. Your house must be connected to a grid through your solar electric power system for its electrical needs. For home heating and water, you need to have a backup electrical heater along with your active solar heating system.
It is still being studied how to make the solar heating system more efficient by integrating a heat pump. This can also help provide a bit of cooling down from the ground during the summer heat.
As of now, the installation and maintenance of a heat pump would cost a lot. Adding more solar panels is currently more cost-efficient. This is why it is necessary to develop a configuration that will integrate even a small geothermal heat pump in the solar energy setup.
