As a professional solar installer, I’ve learned that the charge controller is the most underestimated box in a DC system. When it’s sized or set wrong, issues can occur in it. You notice “weak” batteries, random inverter alarms, or lights dimming at night. Panels also never seem to hit their potential. In this post I’ll…
Morocco has become a global leader in renewable energy. It achieved this by constructing the world’s largest Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) complex — the Noor Ouarzazate Solar Complex. This mega project is located on the edge of the Sahara Desert. It is not only a technological milestone. It also serves as a blueprint for other…
As a professional solar installer, I face solar battery issues often during solar maintenance & repairs. This is one of the most common challenges. A well-designed solar system should keep your batteries healthy and efficient. But, if charging is not managed properly, it can cause problems like overcharging, undercharging, and imbalance. These issues can drastically…
As a professional solar installer, customers often ask me: “Do solar panels really need maintenance?” The simple answer is yes. While solar systems are designed to last for decades, they still need proper care. Regular servicing and prompt repairs are necessary to keep them running efficiently. That’s where Solar Maintenance & Repairs come in. You…
As a solar technician and installer, one of the most common challenges I face on-site is dealing with solar inverter errors. Since the inverter is the heart of any solar energy system—responsible for converting DC electricity from solar panels into usable AC power—any fault here can disrupt the entire system. Over the years, I’ve worked…
As a solar technician, I’ve handled hundreds of solar panels over the years, from small home systems to large commercial installations. And one thing I’ve learned very quickly: not all solar panels are created equal. Some look great in pictures but fail to deliver when it counts. Today, I want to walk you through how…
By PointAI | Published: March 26, 2025Subject: Governance & Policy Abuja, Nigeria – The Federal Government of Nigeria has announced plans to ban the importation of solar panels in a bold move aimed at boosting local manufacturing and accelerating the country’s clean energy transition. The proposed policy aligns with Presidential Executive Order No. 5, which…
When building a solar power system, the way your solar panels are connected has a major impact on the overall system performance. The two most common methods are series connections and parallel connections. These configurations affect the system’s voltage, current, efficiency, and resistance to shading. In this post, you’ll learn: Let’s get started with understanding…
It was a sunny afternoon in Delta State, the kind that promises hope and energy—especially the renewable kind. Chinedu (name changed for privacy), a final-year student at the Petroleum Training Institute (PTI), Effurun, had just landed a contract that thrilled him. He was to install solar panels on the roof of a one-story building near…
The solar industry is booming across the globe, powering homes, businesses, and communities with clean, renewable energy. With this growth, however, comes an increase in rooftop solar installations—jobs that often put solar installers at significant risk of solar installer’s fall. While the solar energy movement promises a greener future, it’s crucial not to overlook the…
