Solar PV Buyer's Guide
What is Solar PV?
Solar Photovoltaic (often abbreviated Solar PV) is a technology that uses semiconductors to convers sunlight into direct current (DC) electricity. When the solar radiation from the sun hits the PV cell, the electrons in the semiconductor are freed and generate an electric current.
Solar PV technology is employed via panels. PV cells are connected to each other and mounted on a module. Multiple modules can be connected to form an array, which can be rotated up or down to produce the amount of desired power. The semiconductors in the PV cells are typically made of silicone.
What are the advantages of solar panels?
Skyrocketing energy costs have been a catalyst for the population’s interest in “going green.” Solar energy has become a popular alternative to traditional energy platforms due to its numerous sustainability benefits. One advantage of solar PV is it allows homeowners to transition from consumers to “prosumers,” people that can generate the electricity they consume. Another benefit is it allows homeowners to save a ton of money on electricity. Furthermore, solar PV uses the most abundant and renewable energy resource on the planet, the sun. By switching to solar energy, you can benefit the Earth’s future for generations to come.
Since solar panels only produce electricity when there is sunshine, they would not be ideal in cities with little sunlight. In “Sunny San Diego,” however, there is no better energy investment than solar panels. Solar panels are lightweight and very durable. They require no maintenance and they last more than 30 years.
