With the continuous surge in energy costs all over the globe, and the eagerness of many people to do more for the environment and combat climate change solar panels are proposed to be the most suitable solution. The solar power-based devices function by converting solar power into electricity and that facilitates the making of renewable energy and thus, helps in some aspects i.e. it is cheaper for people, and it also has the additional characteristic of being eco friendly. The discussion in this article will thus go into the topics of how solar panels function, how they are advantageous, and why solar energy is the choice of most households for their energy supply.
Understanding Solar Panels
Solar cells consist of photovoltaic cells which turn off light into electricity. The means by which electrons are created from photovoltaic cells perform an electric field. This process is clean, renewable, and produces no harmful emissions.
Home solar panels are a system comprising several parts:
- Solar panels placed on the roof or in a sunny area
- An inverter that converts DC power to be utilizable for home use to AC power
- A system for keeping track of the energy production
- Batteries (if wanted) for energy storage
