A sun hour is a unit of measurement of the intensity of sunlight on the earth at a given time that can be used for generation of solar power, recognizing factors such as climate and weather. A full sun hour is measured as the intensity of sunlight at noon, whereas less than a full sun hour will result during the hours before and after noon.

Electrical energy is stored in the battery each day, and some of that energy is used to operate the light at night. Generally, we design your system so that the battery will operate the light for five nights without charging. This means that, even after a series of cloudy days, there will be plenty energy in the battery to power the light each night. Also, the solar panel will continue to charge the battery (although at a reduced rate) even when it is cloudy.

SunMaster’s solar controller uses a photocell and/or timer to control when the light will turn on, when the sun goes down, and to turn off when the sun comes up. The photocell detects when the sun comes down and when the sun comes up again. SunMaster can make the lamp last anywhere from 8-14 hours, and this varies on the customer’s needs. The solar controller utilizes an internal timer that is pre-set for a specific number of hours to determine when to switch the light off. If the solar controller is set to leave the light on until dawn, it determines when the sun rise (and when to switch the light off) by means of voltage readings from the solar panel array.

There is no regular maintenance required for a solar lighting system. However, it is helpful to keep the solar panels clean, especially in a dusty climate.

Our suggestion for using 24V battery bank for solar LED system is based on our research which we conducted earlier before launching our Solar LED system. What we did in our research was that we actually tested both the systems 12V battery bank and as well as 24V battery bank. Read more ->

In order to customize your solar light project the first thing we need to focus on is the location for installing the solar power lighting system and the perfect location where you want to install your solar light project, because different locations and surface have different levels of sunlight which can have an impact on the outcome of the solar light project.

Batteries are shipped 85% charged. The batteries will be at 100% charged within two weeks of proper operation.

Gel battery also known as VRLA (valve regulated lead-acid) batteries or gel cells, contains acid that has been gelled by the addition of silica gel, turning the acid into a solid mass that looks like gooey Jell-O. They contain less acid than a regular battery. Gel batteries are commonly used in wheelchairs, golf carts and marine applications. There are several advantages to using gel batteries. Read more ->

The power generation of photovoltaic power stations in summer may not be as high as that in spring or autumn, because the continuous high temperature in summer has a great impact on the modules. When the temperature increases, the output power of the module will decrease. For each degree of increase, the power generation will decrease by about 0.44%.

The string voltage is calculated according to the full load MPPT of the inverter; The string current shall not be greater than the maximum input current of the inverter.

The peak current of 540 components is less than 13a, and the maximum string current of sunmaster single-phase 5kW inverter is 13a, which can be matched. Through the calculation of voltage and other parameters, the inverter can also achieve a very good over configuration state.

The zero line is disconnected and ungrounded. It is not zero potential. The voltage is induced by the live line, or the voltage of the live line is transmitted to the zero line through electrical appliances, so the zero line is charged.

Common causes and treatment measures of zero line electrification: 1) There is leakage of electrical equipment on the line, and the end action of the protection device makes the zero line live. Power off for maintenance, find out the leakage equipment for repair, and find out the reason for the end action of the protection device. 2) One phase of the line is grounded, and the general protection device in the power grid is not protected, making the zero line live. After power failure, first measure the line with a megger to see if there is any place with poor insulation. During measurement, pay attention to the disconnection of instruments in the line. 3) The zero line is broken. There is leakage or large single-phase load operation in the electrical equipment behind the fracture, which makes the zero line live. After power failure, test whether the zero line is broken, and find and repair the broken line. 4) In the neutral grid, some electrical equipment are protected by grounding and leakage, so that the zero line is charged. Distinguish whether the system is connected to neutral system or grounding system, or repeated grounding in the neutral system. Then install the ground wire correctly. 5) In the neutral grid, single-phase electrical equipment adopts "one fire and one ground", that is, there is no working zero line to make the zero line live. When installing n-wire, PE wire cannot be used as n-wire. 6) The insulation resistance of some electrical equipment in the power grid has been damaged and leakage, making the zero line live. Check the equipment whose insulation resistance does not meet the specified requirements and repair it. 7) The working grounding connection at the low-voltage side of the transformer has poor contact and large resistance. When the unbalanced current of three-phase load exceeds the allowable range, the zero line will be charged. If it is difficult to find the poor contact, it shall be repaired every year or at the specified time. It is not allowed to be lazy. It shall be repaired according to the regulations. 8) The high voltage flows into the low voltage, making the zero line live. It's hard to find, and sometimes there are big problems. The most difficult one is dangerous to people. Be sure to operate according to the operating procedures. 9) The high voltage adopts the operation mode of two lines and one ground. When the grounding body is too close to the low-voltage working grounding or repeated grounding body, the voltage drop on the high-voltage working grounding will affect the working grounding at the low-voltage side and make the zero line live. Find out the cause and lay according to the corresponding regulations. 10) 10. The zero line is charged due to magnetic field induction. 11) The zero line is charged due to electrostatic induction. 12) Due to the partial voltage effect of insulation resistance and capacitance to ground, the shell of electrical equipment may be charged.

In general, the designed component power usually exceeds the rated power of the inverter, and the voltage will not exceed the maximum system voltage of the inverter. 15kw inverter, if it is a three-way inverter, can be designed into two strings or three strings, which can be designed to exceed the rated power of 15kw.

Inverter grounding and shell grounding are not connected at the same place and need to be separated. The former is working grounding (can maintain the non fault phase to ground voltage unchanged; can ensure the accuracy of relatively low voltage measurement in the primary system; discharge lightning current to the ground during lightning stroke), and the latter is protective grounding (in order to ensure personal safety and avoid or reduce the harm of accidents, protective grounding is often used in Electrical Engineering).
