HOW SOLAR WORKS

If you are thinking about a solar system for your home or business in Perth or surrounding areas, understanding how solar works should make your decision easier.

Solar energy works by harnessing the sun’s energy and turning it into electricity for your home or business.

Solar power is a renewable energy source that can be used as electricity. In order for this to happen, photovoltaic cells, solar panels, and inverters are needed. The process includes the sunlight hitting the cells made of semiconductor nature. In such a way, electrons are knocked from their atoms and as they flow through the semiconductor cells, electricity is being generated.

Solar power has grown quite a reputation when it comes to homeowners and business owners alike.

Here are some questions & answers that help you understand more about how solar works.

Simply put, solar energy is renewable energy generated or produced by the sun. This type of energy can be utilized mainly for electricity needs. Solar energy can also be harnessed into usable energy which can be used in schools, homes, or even hospitals.

Here are some of the benefits of solar energy:

1. #1. Energy efficient
2. #2. Cuts down your energy bills
3. #3. Cheaper
4. #4. Safe to the environment
5. #5. Low maintenance
6. #6. Reduced dependence of electrical supply

Definitely! Using solar energy reduces dependence on electricity from suppliers, which means that you have more access to generating your electricity that ultimately cuts your energy bills.

This depends on the size and the required electrical capacity of your home. An average Australian home consumes electricity resulting in 18 KiloWatt(KW) per day. You would want to generate the appropriate amount of solar energy according to the electricity needed for your property.

While solar energy can be generated during the daytime, solar works at night as storage. The amount of solar energy generated during the day can be of use at night time since solar energy can also be stored.

The process starts when photons hit a solar semiconductor cell which results in knocking the electrons loose from their atoms. If conductors are attached to both the positive and negative sides of a solar cell, it forms an electrical circuit which is a vital component in making electricity. When electrons flow through the same circuit, they generate electricity. Multiple cells make up a solar panel, and multiple panels (modules) can be wired together to form a solar array. The more panels you can deploy, the more energy you can expect to generate.

Photovoltaic (PV) solar panels are made up of many solar cells that are semiconductive in nature. Solar cells are usually made of silicon which is constructed with a positive layer and a negative layer, resulting in an electric field, just like in a battery.

A solar inverter is the equipment used for taking DC electricity from the solar array and creates AC electricity. Inverters also provide protection and system stats, including voltage and current on circuits and production of energy.
