Some Important Facts about Solar Energy

About other facts on first you must know about the solar energy that how it works, what is the lifetime of your solar panels and how you can improve the value of your home and reduce costs?

Here are some facts about solar energy:

Solar Energy is not so complicated

Solar panels get the sunlight on solar photovoltaic (PV) cells, which then activate electrons. Then the electrons jump from atom to atom and make a chain of electricity that runs through a charge controller in the form of a DC charge. That charge can be stored in a battery which you can use as 12 volt DC current or transform it by using an inverter to 110 volt AC current. AC current is used mostly in home appliances.

Durability of Solar Panels

Though the full sun is best for your solar panel for producing the energy but it is operational also in other conditions. The life of solar panels can be from 3 to 25 years. Most of solar panels are having warranty of 10 to twenty years.
