Q

What is A36 Steel? (eg. Channel Bar, Wide Flange, I-Beam)

A

A36 is a low carbon steel. Low carbon steels are classified by having less than 0.3% carbon by weight. This allows A36 steel to be easily machined, welded, and formed, making it extremely useful as a general-purpose steel. The low carbon also prevents heat treatment from having much of an effect on A36 steel.

How On-Grid Solar Panel Works

A

Solar Panel -> Inverter -> Switch Board -> Electric Meter -> Electric Mains Grid

If your solar panel is producing more energy than you need, there’s a credit/cash benefit that you can cash out at the end of the year.
