Solar Panels
The sun's energy or solar energy is the most abundant form of energy available on earth and you can harness that energy using solar panels on your home, providing you with free energy for years to come.
Domestic solar panels generate electricity directly from sunlight through photovoltaic or PV cells which converts the light into energy by using the photoelectric effect.
The PV cells use daylight to convert solar radiation to electricity, it does not have to be direct sunlight but the more intense the light the more electricity obtained.
Single PV cells are connected together to form a solar panel and a number of solar panels are connected together to form an array.
An array of panels produce direct current electricity from sunlight which can be used to recharge a bank of batteries to provide a store of electricity or to power electrical goods within the home once passed through an inverter which changes the direct current to alternating current.
Solar panels should be installed on an unobstructed surface on the sunny side of the house. Generally they are mounted on the roof of a house but can also be installed on a wall or on the ground in an area where they will not get damaged.
It is important to look into your local planning laws/guidelines before deciding on a site for your solar panels as there maybe restrictions or exemptions in place in your area.
In some locations tax credits and other incentives are now commonplace to encourage the use of solar panels so check out your local tax codes to see what is available.
You will save thousands by building and installing your own DIY Solar Panel from materials that are easy to source and cheap to buy.
