What Is A Solar Panel
Solar energy works by capturing the sun’s energy to generate electricity for our homes, offices or businesses. And solar panels are those devices that absorbs the sun’s ray and convert it to electricity.
A solar panel or photovoltaic solar panel is an assembly of solar cells that absorb sunlight as a source of energy to generate direct current electricity. On the other hand, a layer of silicon, phosphorus, and boron comprises a solar cell. And to be able to use the DC current in the home or to place the excess current on the grid, the current must be converted to an alternating current of 240 V. This is done by the inverter, which is integrated into the electrical circuit close to the solar panels.
A solar inverter takes the DC electricity from the solar array and uses that to create AC electricity. Inverters are the brain of the system. Along with inverting DC to AC power, it also provides ground fault protection and system statistics.
A 2017 report shows that solar has become the world’s fastest-growing source of power. This mark for the first time that solar energy’s growth has surpassed that of all other fuels. Hoping in the coming years, we will be enjoying the benefits of solar-generated electricity in one way or another.
Benefits of using solar energy
Using solar panels is a very practical way to generate electricity for many applications. Homes away from the main electricity grid benefit greatly from the solar panel systems. First, there is no need to pay the huge fees for the installation of electric utility poles. And also no need to pay for the cabling from the nearest main grid point. The greatest benefit of using solar power is that it is both a clean and renewable source of energy.
