Perovskite Solar Cells: Pt. 2
Posted by Solar Source on Oct 28, 2016We’ve talked about Perovskite Solar Cells before and we need to talk about them again.
In previous designs, researchers have used several elements when creating different forms of perovskite, a photovoltaic crystalline structure that’s thinner, more flexible, easier (and cheaper!) to manufacture than silicon crystals. But a new study has recently come out in the Oct. 21 edition of Science using very inexpensive and available materials to create the perovskite solar cell.

Solar PooI Heating - Isolating The System
Posted by Solar Source on Oct 29, 2014What would happen if your pool solar heater started leaking? It's a rare occurrence, usually from an external blunt force, but if it does happen, you'll notice water dripping off the edge of the roof when the system is in operation. Our team can quickly fix the problem, but to stop the leak before the scheduled appointment, you can simply turn off the system. With a manual system, you can use the same valve that you normally use to turn the system on or off. With automatic controls, you can go to your controls and switch the system to off. Alternately, you can adjust the temperature down below the pool's temperature to keep the solar system from turning on.
