How micro-converters and power optimizers help solar panels make hay when the sun doesn’t shine

Everybody wants to get maximum benefit out of their purchase. And the want applies only too well for solar panels. Producing electricity using unconventional sources like sun, wind, geothermal or biogas hasn’t been an easy task. Apart from innovating on surface materials that converts these kinds of sources into electric current, there’s a host of […]
