About SunRecent

Why this site exists

Solar marketing is full of jargon: efficiency ratings, temperature coefficients, half-cut cells, string versus microinverters, usable versus total battery capacity. Headlines about "breakthrough" cells rarely explain when, or whether, the technology will reach an ordinary roof. SunRecent sets out to translate those terms and developments into language a curious non-engineer can follow.

Who it is for

• People comparing equipment on a solar quote who want to understand what they are being offered.
• Students and readers who want a clear explanation of how photovoltaics and energy storage work.
• Anyone following new solar technologies who wants context rather than hype.

What you will find here

• Technology explainers on panels, storage, emerging cell types, floating solar, agrivoltaics and more.
• A panel type comparison and a simple solar savings tracker for logging your own system's output.
• A solar technology FAQ.

What we are not

SunRecent is not a news agency, manufacturer, installer or adviser, and it does not sell or install solar equipment. Articles are general explainers and may not reflect the very latest products or prices. Please read our disclaimer.
