Solar Energy, its Uses and Advantages: Explained.

 

Introduction:

            Every day, the Sun shines more than three trillion watts of free energy on the earth that's enough energy to power over three million homes for an entire year being produced every day.

 

Solar Energy:

            Solar panels harness this energy and convert it into clean electricity to power our homes businesses and lifestyles. Light from the Sun stimulates electrons on a solar panel. These electrons create DC or direct current electricity. Solar electricity travels from the panels on your roof through an inverter to the circuit breaker panel of your building. An inverter changes DC electricity into usable AC or alternating current electricity before sending it to the breaker panel of your building.

 

Uses and Advantages:

            Your home uses that electricity to power the electronic devices we use every day. It's like having your own power plant on your roof with an endless supply of clean energy. Anytime, the panels are producing more energy than you are using like sunny days when you are on vacation. The excess energy is sent back to your utility company where they are required to buy back your excess electricity at the same rates. They would normally charge a concept called net metering. The utility company purchases your excess solar electricity and sells that energy to homes and businesses in your neighborhood even homes. In businesses that do not have solar panels are still buying your excess solar electricity. When the Sun goes down your home or business purchases electricity from your local utility company the same way it has in the past however credits from your excess. Solar energy produced during the day will offset nighttime charges which are much cheaper than peak daytime rates. This maximizes your savings through the time of you spilling where you are selling energy to the utility during daytime peak hours. While buying energy during nighttime off-peak hours instead of buying electricity from a power plant that burns coal and other pollutants. You are taking advantage of the free abundant energy of the Sun. As energy rates continue to go up, your system produces clean renewable energy at no cost to you. Now you get to choose how much to spend on electricity.

            In this way we can somehow contribute to reducing the pollution.
