The simple answer to “what is solar energy’ is ‘Solar energy is the type of energy generated by the sun which includes light and heat. Electricity is converted from the ‘sun’ by use of “Photovoltaic cells, and hot water if created using ‘Solar thermal technology, where heat from the sun is used. Solar energy can be harnessed directly or indirectly for consumption. A more complex explanation is that ‘solar energy is created by nuclear fusion that takes place on and in the sun, but that’s a bit out of the scope of this article! The question with solar and continues to be is: What is the more efficient and costly way to obtain it and get the fullest potential from it. The
Department of Energy estimates that the amount of sunlight that strikes the earth’s surface in an hour and a half is enough to handle the entire world’s energy consumption for a full year. There is plenty of it, so how and what is the best way to get it remains the BIG question. We have developed some methods and more will be soon to come.

Solar Information

You may be wondering how does sunlight shinning on a ‘solar panel’ makes electricity? Well, a simple explanation is when the sun shines on the solar panels, the panels absorb energy and makes direct electrical current which is then converted into a ‘alternating electrical current’ that can be used by our homes. The photovoltaic effect produced by the semiconductors converts the energy of light directly into electricity. Homeowners, businesses and industries can all benefit from solar technologies. And whether you are staying put in your home or business, for now, or you are moving introducing solar to your home or business not only result in lower electricity bill, but it also a unique option in increasing your home value as much as 4 to 5% on similar homes, by some reports. This, in addition to the fact that installing photovoltaic solar panels, with a battery storage system, means you can store the excess power your panels produce, and gives you another option, as opposed to selling and surplus created to the power grid. Which also means you will, have stored power, if there is an emergency due to lost of electricity from a storm or a natural disaster.

Solar Benefits

The first thing about ‘solar energy’ is, that it is a renewable energy source. And that a plus, because it allows you to reduce your own Personal carbon footprint, thereby contributing more to Sustainability and aids in the preserving of earth’s valuable resources. Solar is an evolving technology, and its maintenance costs are low. There are a number of applications and one of the top rewards is that it reduces electricity bills. (Solar Panels, also keeps the International Space Station, supplied with solar power, which was launched, November 20, 1998, at a cost of 150 Billion USD and now orbits at a height of 254 miles above earth at a speed of 17,400 mph. – impressive!)

A quick tally, of the advantages of Solar;

  • Solar is Environmentally Friendly
  • Solar will reduce your energy bill
  • Solar is a Green energy source
  • Solar will increase your property value
  • Solar comes in a wide range of products
  • Solar can be sold back to the grid
  • Solar created in excess can be stored in your own system
  • Solar can make homeowners energy independent (Zero)
