Installing solar panels could be a life-changing decision, especially when it comes to cost and overall lifestyle. While making the switch to solar could still be an option you are weighing, let us help persuade you into making a great choice. At Basic Energy, our technicians have not only the knowledge to properly educate you about solar panels, but the experience to correctly install them as well.
Solar panels first started in 1954 when scientists discovered that silicon can create an electrical charge when exposed to the sun. Much has changed in over 60 years, but the concept of solar energy stays the same. Essentially, solar panels are used to convert light from the sun into electricity or energy that can be used to power your home or business. Solar power can be used to power small things like phone chargers or large buildings like warehouses. They consist of a combination of silicon solar cells that are covered by a sheet of glass and held together by a metal frame. The metal frame has wiring and circuitry to help the flow of sunlight into electricity. Together, all of these components work together to help homes and businesses choose clean, affordable energy solutions.
Solar panels work by harnessing clean, renewable energy from the sun’s light and turning that light into working electricity. These panels themselves are made up of multiple different individual solar cells that have layers of their own. These layers are made up of silicon, phosphorus, and boron. Phosphorus provides a negative charge and boron provides the positive charge which helps to initiate the electrical current. This process of the solar panels working with the solar current to allow electricity to be generated is called the Photovoltaic Effect. The more simplistic process of solars panels works like this:
Not only is solar energy sustainable and renewable, but as the years go on, the cost of using solar power is decreasing every year. Additionally, solar panels do not need to be cleaned unless you live in an area with high amounts of smog, dust, dirt, or sand. Choosing solar over regular electricity can provide you with benefits that will last a lifetime. Some of these benefits include:
With over 5 years of experience in this field, you can count on our technicians to help guide you down the path to cleaner energy.
