What is upweller?

An upweller is a system used to grow shellfish. Think of it as an incubator for oysters. Oyster seed, called spat, starts the size of a grain of sand. The upweller is a system of individual cylinders through which ocean water is pumped.

What does Flupsy stand for?

FLUPSY stands for FLoating UPweller SYstem and is a fairly new technique which acts as a nursery system for shellfish. The Roem van Yerseke is breeding with oysters in their indoor hatchery (hatchery phase).

What is bivalve spat?

The word “spat” is an old English term applied to the early juvenile stage of bivalve development and is perhaps the most commonly used term applied to juveniles in hatcheries. Hatcheries provide the mature larvae and the farmers themselves set them and grow the spat for seeding oyster beds or in suspended culture.

What are oyster seeds?

Seed Collectors Over time, spat (oyster seed) settle on the empty oyster shells, maturing to a harvestable size. These oyster beds are most often situated in an intertidal zone to prevent fouling and strengthen the abductor muscles of the oysters.

What do they call a baby oyster?

What can a solar power inverter do for You?

Solar power inverters convert the energy from solar panels into the usable electric energy that can be used by appliances, lighting, electronics, etc. in the home.

What do you need to know about solar panels?

The wattage or capacity of an individual solar panel, measured in watts; The energy production of an individual solar panel over a time period, installed in a specific place (measured in kilowatt-hours kWh); The amount of energy generated by a complete solar panel system, either per day, per month or per year.

What is the fill factor of a solar inverter?

Fill factor is defined as the ratio of the maximum power from the solar cell to the product of V oc and I sc. There are three main types of MPPT algorithms: perturb-and-observe, incremental conductance and constant voltage.

Why are the wattages of solar panels increasing?

The reason for the growing power wattages of solar panels is due to improvements in solar panel efficiency. Higher efficiency means that you can produce more power in the same amount of space.
