The photovoltaic (PV) system directly converts solar energy into electricity through photovoltaic panels or solar panels. A single PV cell generates about two watts of power. These individual cells are linked together to make a solar panel - the solar panels are chained together to create a solar array. Depending on the number of solar arrays, a PV system can provide massive … [Read more...] about How Solar (Photovoltaic) Panels Work?

How Can We Use Ambient Energy to Power IoT Sensors?
New solutions powered by the internet of things (IoT) offer massive potential for data collection. With the right sensors, businesses can gather new types of real-time information on business processes, machines, and other equipment. The technology can be especially valuable in remote areas where maintaining wired sensors may not be practical. However, powering these devices … [Read more...] about How Can We Use Ambient Energy to Power IoT Sensors?
How Are Wide-Bandgap Semiconductors Improving EVs and Hybrids?
Electric vehicles (EVs) and hybrids are one of the most critical parts of the fight against climate change. Transportation accounts for 29% of all greenhouse gas emissions, so moving away from fossil fuel-powered cars is a must. Automotive semiconductors need some improvement for that to happen, though. Traditionally, most semiconductors, like those in EVs, are made of silicon. … [Read more...] about How Are Wide-Bandgap Semiconductors Improving EVs and Hybrids?
