Why should we use Solar PV panels ?
Why should we use electrical solar panels ?
Solar panels have been around for a while now . Burning fossil fuels to produce energy does not do the environment any good , one of the best solutions to this is to install photovoltaic solar panels to generate our own electricity .
Electric solar panels use PV cells or photovoltaic to transform the suns energy into electricity . The solar panel is made from crystalline silicon , photons from the sun strike the silicon and electricity is generated using the photovoltaic effect . The electricity can then be used to power lights and house hold appliances .
There are two main reason to install solar pv panels : economic and environmental . Most people invest in solar panels for the economic reason , solar panels will increase the value of your property and lower your energy bills ; Installing solar panel for your property can lower your energy bills by around 40% . It is also possible to make money from your solar panels by selling excess electricity back to the grid . Or you can store energy for a rainy day or if it is needed . Solar energy is environmentally friendly as they do not pollute the earth with pollutants like Carbon Dioxide .
Before installing solar panels there are several things you need to consider . Solar panels are relatively heavy , you will need to be sure that your roof is strong enough to carry their weight . To get your roof checked properly consult a construction specialist for an assessment . You will also need to make sure there is a direct path for sunlight to hit the solar panel i.e no buildings , trees or structures blocking the sunlight . This allows you to capture the highest amount of sunlight to generate electricity . Planning permission may also be needed for an installation , so contact your local council or planning authority for permission .
