Solar System for Home: On Grid Solar System vs. Off Grid Solar System | Luminous Solar

The world is turning to solar energy - for sustainability and cost effectiveness. In this video, Luminous is talking about the two types of solar system for home - The On Grid solar System & Off Grid Solar System. Both these systems are similar and different in one key aspect, which is whether you want to save excess electricity generated and use it for running electronic appliances or you don't want to use excess electricity. Other than that, basic components like the solar panels, the solar battery and the solar inverter are common in both these systems.

If you were faced with the question of which one is better - that is on-grid vs offgrid solar system, then how would you answer that?

The basic difference between the two is that On-Grid works with the Grid system, while Off-Grid works independently off it. In the On-Grid system, the solar panels convert the solar energy into DC current and the inverter converts the DC current into AC current to power your home or business Any excess current that the solar panels create is fed back into the grid as credit which can be later drawn back in based on the requirement. However, the On-Grid system does not work during power outages so while it is cost effective, it is best used in places where the power cuts are minimum.

So what about places where there is high power outages or there is no power supply at all?
This is where the Off-Grid solar system is effective. This type of Grid system works even when there is no supply from the mains or when the solar panels don’t generate electricity.

Exploring the protective systems that keep the power grid from self destructing.

We usually think of the power grid in terms of its visible parts: power plants, high-voltage lines, and substations. But, much of the complexity of power grid comes in how we protect it when things go wrong. When your power goes out, it’s easy to be frustrated at the inconvenience, but consider also being thankful that it probably means things are working as designed to protect the grid as a whole and ensure a speedy and cost-effective repair to the fault.

Discussing some of the fascinating engineering that goes into overhead electric power transmission lines.

In the past, power generating plants were only able to serve their local areas. As power plants grew larger and further away from populated areas, the need for ways to efficiently move electricity over long distances has become more and more important. Stringing power lines across the landscape to connect cities to power plants may seem as simple as connecting an extension cord to an outlet, but the engineering behind these electric superhighways is more complicated and fascinating than you might think.

Continuing the series on the power grid by diving deeper into the engineering of large-scale electricity generation.

The importance of electricity in our modern world can hardly be overstated. What was a luxury a hundred years ago is now a critical component to the safety, prosperity, and well-being of nearly everyone. Generation is the first step electricity takes on its journey through the power grid, the gigantic machine that delivers energy to millions of people day in and day out. So how does it work?

Untangling the various equipment you might see in an electrical substation.

In many ways, the grid is a one-size-fits-all system - a gigantic machine to which we all connect spinning in perfect synchrony across, in some cases, an entire continent. On the other hand, our electricity needs, including when we need it, how much we need, and how reliably it should be delivered vary widely. Substations play a critical role in controlling and protecting the power grid.

This is a journey form the smallest manmade hole - by removing just one single atom - to the edge of the universe. Man has finally succeeded in making the ancient dream of Greek philosophers come true - to «see» an atom. In another direction we also seem to have unlimited sight: the «Hubble Telescope» grants us a glimpse of the remotest galaxies. This documentary assesses the limits of human perception, taking us on a journey through time from the quasars, millions of light-years away from earth, via the wonders of our populated world to the depths of human genotype and the structure of a single atom. «Limits of Perception» promises a filmic journey of exploration from micro- into macrocosm.

We perceive time in terms of seconds -- the length of a heartbeat. We can't even imagine events that unfold over several days and years or be aware of elementary particles that flash into existence for less than a billionth of a second without high-tech camera equipment and exceptional filming techniques.

Researchers have offered a chemical explanation for sex change in a tropical fish. ↓↓More info and references below↓↓

For a tropical fish called the bluehead wrasse, sex isn’t always permanent. When a group of the fish loses its dominant male, the biggest female rapidly changes sex, taking on distinctive male coloring and producing mature sperm in as little as 8 days. Although this change is well documented, the molecular mechanisms that drive it have remained unclear. Now, an international group of researchers has offered a chemical explanation for the transformation after analyzing tissue samples from transitioning fish.
