The electrical energy obtained by converting sun light is called solar energy. This conversion is done by using energy collectors usually placed on the roof of the buildings. The collecting of solar energy is done by using solar panels made up of semi-conductive material. Solar panels are capable of producing enough electricity under ideal conditions to power the lights and electrical appliances in a typical home. Six hours of sunlight is said to be ideal for the requirements of a typical home.
The number of solar panels to be used will depend on the intensity of the sunlight received and so does the efficiency. Solar energy is claimed to be cleaner than energy obtained from coal, oil or nuclear energy sources. So it is believed to be perfectly safe. The energy conversion system installation is now less expensive and more efficient so it has become accessible to common man. It has become a possibility for us to produce enough solar energy to actually sell the extra energy to utility companies, to make a profit.
The solar energy being vast free source of energy you may save on your electric bill. Its emission free so there is no hazard to the environment. The solar energy may be collected and used for longer hours than most other energy sources. Once the installation is made you would not have any expenses to meet as the system requires very little maintenance and servicing. As long as you have enough sun light they seem to work forever. Alternate this with wind power if your place does not get enough sunlight. Solar powered products are the key to a green future.
