Today, 03 August 2022, we finally adjusted the panels of the test array to 35° inclination. The morning was clear and fairly bright; a hot day with air temperatures in the region of 30°C. And we easily reached our target Read more…
Up until today (02 August 2022), our test array was inclined at nearly 80° from horizontal. That gave degraded performance. We set it this morning to 55° and saw a large difference. You can see this in the graphs. We’ll Read more…
Solar collectors and panels have to be correctly aligned to get the best performance; these angles can affect the amount of energy collected and are based on two factors: latitude and the season. Solar collectors will capture the most energy Read more…
That’s us in the pale blue dot. Alone, fragile and vulnerable; we’d better take care of our planet. Photograph taken by the Voyager 1 spacecraft in 1990, 6 billion kilometres from Earth. “That’s here. That’s home. That’s us. On it Read more…
