Being up to date with the industry and its trends is pertinent for every business to provide the best possible service. To accomplish that, even service providers such as SouthWest Sun Solar must keep up with technological advancements & trends within the industry. Besides businesses, even consumers such as yourself must know what the upcoming solar energy advancements are, so, you can be aware of its benefit for your home. So, what are you waiting for? Let’s get to know what trends the solar energy industry has in store for us all!
1. Artificial intelligence (AI)
Today, Artificial Intelligence plays a significant role in almost every industry. You can see its implementations everywhere, including search engines such as Google, the automotive industry’s Tesla and others. With that said, now this technology is making its way into the solar energy industry with much more in store for us. Its main focus can be seen in enhancing the current energy consumption methods. You can expect to see Artificial Intelligence being used for tracking energy production, improving efficiency of solar panels, sensing and fixing technical errors within the solar homes, etc.
2. Energy storage
As energy consumption is rapidly increasing day by day, the battery storage is becoming more decentralized. Here, technology such as AI is being used to accomplish a more decentralized energy system, which was practically impossible back in the day. Once this system succeeds, the energy industry will enter a whole new era that we have yet to discover.
3. Solar windows
Solar windows are designed in such a way that they fit perfectly around your solar home or business. These then absorb any and all types of light not visible to the naked eye, including UV and IR light. Based on the energy consumption from this, it will produce solar energy. According to industry experts, if done correctly, the solar energy produced by the solar windows can meet the 100% electricity requirements for your home, or even for the entire town if implemented townwide.
4. Floating solar panels
A study states that a solar panel’s maximum energy production takes place when the panels are at a perpendicular angle with respect to the sun. As it’s practically impossible to change the sun’s position, why not change the panels? This is exactly what floating solar panels are. They are constantly moving similar to the movement of sunflowers being attracted to the sun to provide a high energy output.
For many of us, the focus is on getting an energy supply rather than getting it efficiently. By staying up-to-date with the trends, you can infuse them into your current or new solar energy systems to improve energy production and the solar energy system’s value. Therefore, we at SouthWest Sun Solar do our best to be aware, actively test, and utilize modern solar technology in our solar panel installation services so, you can get the best possible output through the solar installation or solar lease services.
