What Is Solar Energy?
Solar energy is produced from the Sun’s radiation and acts like a strong source of energy since fossil fuels get depleted, expensive and as consumers favor alternative energy.
Each ray of light that we are able to turn into electricity is an additional step in decreasing the pollutants of fossil fuels. Furthermore by installing solar panel systems on homes, we are investing in the clean energy economy and generating a large number of jobs without the need to outsource.
What is Photovoltaic (or Solar Panels)?
Photovoltaic or Solar Panels help us to directly transfer sun light into electricity. PV arrays are made from solar cells that can come in a variety of shapes and sizes. PV array on a home generating electricity is likely made of traditional crystalline silicon. Common solar cells have an efficiency of around 15%, however there are systems that are up to 21% efficient.
Active & passive solar heating
Passive solar may be used to heat an office building. By designing a building with large south-facing windows, the Sun’s energy can be stored during the day. Certain thermal storage components can absorb the heat and gradually disperse it throughout the night keeping the building warm.
Active solar heating is another solution to make use of the Sun’s radiant energy. A good example of active solar is solar water heaters. These kind of systems can be found on the top of many buildings worldwide. Water gradually passes through a flat plate collector facing the Sun and as the water is heated, it flows into a storage compartment to be utilized later. In several Mediterranean areas, 30-40% of all homes have solar water heaters, emphasizing the advantages of such a system to meet basic household hot water needs.
