What does Solar Energy mean to me?
With the ever rising prices of oil, gas, and electricity wouldn’t you like to save money while making your home more energy efficient? There are exciting new technologies available to help you achieve your efficiency goals. One of these advancements is in the use of solar energy.
The sun’s energy can be harnessed and converted into electricity. Solar panels are placed on a flat surface, such as a house roof. These panels are made from semiconducting materials which absorbs the sun’s rays. The photovoltaic effect occurs, which is the process of light converting into electricity, when electrons are loosened from their atoms. This direct current electricity enters an inverter which converts the power to 120 volt AC used to power your home, saving on your electric bill and saving you money.
