1. What are solar panels used for ?
Solar power is arguably the cleanest, most reliable form of renewable energy available, and it can be used in several forms to help power your home or business. Solar-powered photo voltaic (PV) panels convert the sun's rays into electricity by exciting electrons in silicon cells using the photons of light from the sun.
2. How is it possible to use solar energy from solar panels at night ?
If power is needed at night or on those winter days, energy can be conserved by utilizing a utility grid or a battery bank. The utility grid can be used simultaneously with solar power and the battery bank can convert solar energy into electricity throughout the day to be stored for later use.
3. What are solar panels made of ?
Solar cells can be classified into first, second and third generation cells. The first generation cells—also called conventional, traditional or wafer-based cells—are made of crystalline silicon, the commercially predominant PV technology, that includes materials such as poly silicon and mono crystalline silicon.
4. What is solar thermal energy ?
Solar thermal energy is a form of energy and a technology for harnessing solar energy to generate thermal energy or electrical energy for use in industry, and in the residential and commercial sectors.
