Solar Tech


One of the most popular sources of green energy is solar. Generating solar power is one of the cleanest avenues from which to power a home.  This form of  green technology is becoming popular in countries all over the world regardless of the weather.  People are now using Free Solar Panels to harness energy to power their properties. 
Solar panels convert sunlight into a very clean form of electricity that can be used to power homes. Each PV cell in a solar panel consists of a negative and positive slice of silicon placed under a thin layer of glass. As the sunlight hits the silicon neutrons are released. These negatively charged neutrons are attracted to the positive silicon but are trapped by a magnetic field formed inside the cell. Wires placed inside the cell catch the neutrons and transfer them into electricity.
This electricity of Free Solar Panels directs currents though and must be converted into alternating current using an inverter. The inverter isn’t completely efficient and around 5% of the electricity will be lost, however the remaining 95% can be used to directly power appliances in our homes.
Thanks to technological advancements, solar panels are now being used to power a number of elements in a home. Heating is the most common use of solar panel electricity, commonly being used to provide hot water for a home, heat a pool or power a central heating system. With larger homes that can implement a large number of solar panels there is the option to connect to the electricity grid and sell surplus electricity back to the grid.
