Solar power is a renewable source of energy derived from the sun’s radiation. It is an increasingly popular and environmentally friendly way to generate electricity and heat for various applications. Here’s some content on solar power:
How Solar Panels Works
Solar panels, also known as photovoltaic (PV) panels, convert sunlight into electricity through a process called the photovoltaic effect. When sunlight hits the solar cells within a panel, it excites electrons, creating an electric current. This direct current (DC) is then converted into alternating current (AC) for use in homes and businesses.
Advantages of Solar Power
- Renewable and Sustainable: The sun is an infinite source of energy, making solar power sustainable and environmentally friendly.
- Reduced Electricity Bills: Solar panels can significantly reduce or eliminate your electricity bills.
- Low Maintenance: Solar panels require minimal maintenance and can last for 25 years or more.
- Energy Independence: Solar power reduces reliance on fossil fuels, contributing to energy independence.
