Solar Panels

Solar energy is harnessed from the heat and light of the sun. The power or electricity is produced by the cells in the solar panels. This is in essence the collection point of the sun’s energy. Handling solar panels is a job for professional electrical contractors with the relevant knowledge and experience.

Solar power does not have to always be connected to the main grid of your home. There are standalone units that were initially created for people who have their homes in remote areas with no access to the main power grid. These standalone units can be used in homes centrally located as well. You can also store extra energy in the battery to use when there is no sunshine.

Connecting the solar electricity source to the main grid is the most commonly used method. The battery and the electrical grid act as a backup source when needed. Of course connecting, repairing, upgrading and any other solar panel work should be performed by professional electricians only.
Solar: Environmentally Friendly

Clean energy is what we strive to find in today’s world, and solar energy will always be clean and a renewable resource unlike gas, oil and coal. It is also the most easiest to tap as a power source. The use of solar energy also clears the air indirectly of toxic pollutants that are caused by gas, oil, coal etc. Most importantly, solar energy does not create any harmful byproducts such as carbon dioxide and nitrogen.
Solar Panels: Economical

From an economical point of view, solar energy pays for itself as energy from the sun is essentially free and is not subject to price increases or taxes. If your panels create more power than you consume, you can always share it or even sell it to the main distribution grid in your area.

It's time to tackle some wiring projects in your home, but where do you begin? It's important that you know what you're dealing with before you start, so a little lesson in 'Wiring 101' is in order. From understanding the different types of wires you'll find to installing switches, outlets, and a few major appliances, let's look at the basics of home wiring.     01 of 09     The Common Wires in Your Home     Before you begin your first DIY electrical project, you should learn a little about the wires you'll be working with. Wires vary greatly and each is designed for a purpose.     The wiring in your home is chosen to accommodate the load it must carry as well as the conditions it will be exposed to. Some are designed for indoor use while others can be buried. Some are for your panel while others hook up your lights and outlets.     It may be confusing at first, but you will probably deal with only a few types of wire in your home.     02 of 09

First we define the word switch gear? a switch gears are a combination of disconnect switches or circuit breakers used to control, protect and isolate electrical equipment. The switchgear consists of a cubicle unit that is attached to a lower frame and they help in identifying faults found in an electricity network such as generating, distributing r transmitting and helps in turning off power. You can call it TP&N OR SWITCH GEAR Electric switchgears are the heart beat of any company facility’s electrical system. The switchgears works as the intermediary between the incoming electricity from the utility companies and all other electrical circuits within the facility. They are of many  voltage classes; we have the low voltage (less than 1 KV), the medium voltage (1 KV to 75 KV), high voltage (75 KV to 230 KV) and the extremely high voltage (Above 230 KV). These switch gears can pose a serious risk to workers and if there are accidents, the likelihood of death is very high. It is th

It’s hard to imagine that a swimming pool has very intricate electrical requirement and they are by no means simple. Water and electricity make a deadly mix so watch out! This is not something for fun and games. This is why professional electrical contractors always follow strict protocols when doing the wiring for swimming pools. The electric requirements of a swimming pool comprise of a motor, pool lights, and filtering equipment. Electrical Pool Requirements All electrical wiring must be at least 5 feet away from the pool. The wires must also securely run through a non metallic raceway system or must be installed within a conduit. Electric pool equipment must also be installed in rooms or pits that have adequate drainage to prevent water accumulation. There must always be a failsafe method to disconnect all ungrounded conductors and the disconnection method must be accessible at least within 50 feet of the equipment. We all love to have underwater lighting in our swimming pools.
