Oh Sunlit Morning — A Poem by Rabindranth Tagore
(Oh the beautiful Sunlit Morning) Wash me with the springing Light-Rays of yours, and remove the dust which has covered my true self, O the beautiful Sunlit Morning, Wash me with the beautiful Light-Rays of yours, The one within me who is still entangled within the net of sleep, you gently touch his forehead with [...]
Sun2Car – Mahindra Reva E20
We at EcoSoch are always proud to own a REVA for our company. We are not only using it for our personal transport but also use it to deliver our Energy efficient Fans, LED Lights, Composting Pots to many of our customers. It had not only attracted many ogles like no other vehicle we ever [...]
Site Survey & Assessment for Solar PV Installations
It’s customary for a PV system integrator to do a Site survey and collect information about local conditions and issues  before any proposal is made. The information collected is then combined with the load patterns and the customer preferences to make a final proposal. There are lot of aspects in doing a site survey for [...]
Assessing Energy Needs for Solar Photo-voltaic System
Once you decide to go for solar installation on your rooftop, you would need to decide the type of solar rooftop PV system that you want to install. It could be off-grid roof-top or an on-grid solar rooftop PV solar system. For more details on off-grid and on-grid, please refer http://ecosoch.com/power/ For a standalone off-grid solar [...]
Comparing LED’s with other Lights
It was in year 1800, that first electric light was invented by Humphry Davy. It took next century to make a first commercially available incandescent bulb, a bulb that changed us for ever to nocturnal.  Incandescent’s were soon followed up by Florsecent Lamps, Halogens, HP mercury vapour, Metal halide, High pressure sodium, Low pressure Sodium. [...]
Solar PV String Inverters Vs Central Inverters
For more details on String inverters and Central Inverters, please visit the earlier post here: http://ecosoch.com/types-of-on-grid-inverters-micro-string-central/ Many-a-times it’s inherently assumed that the bigger the better and cheaper. So ideally speaking the Central Inverter architecture (small number of very large inverters ) are cheaper and have better performance that that of String Inverter Architecture (large number of [...]
Advantages and Disadvantages of Micro Inverters
 Solar Micro Inverters existed since the advent of the solar PV systems, but then due to high costs associated with manufacturing, it wasn’t popular until recently when a company enphase made the first commercially successful micro inverter M175 in 2008. Since then many established companies like SMA, Power-One (now ABB), Delta and other companies [...]
Types of Solar On Grid inverters – Micro, String & Central
There are three type of On grid or grid-tie inverters (for details on what is a grid-tie inverter, you can refer to an earlier post  http://goo.gl/0jtWMl). They are 1. Micro inverter 2. String inverter 3. Central inverter. A Micro inverter is connected a single solar panel to  convert its generated DC current to AC current. This [...]
Effect of Temperature on Solar Panel power generation
It’s a common misconception that the solar panels generate more energy with higher temperatures and less energy with lower temperatures. So the assumption is that we have more power generated in places like Chennai than in Bangalore or for that matter in Himachal Pradesh. But in reality,  solar cells, like in all semiconductors  are [...]
