If are you looking for a way to save electricity and to reduce bills, possible is that renewable energy may be the good for you. The most popular source of the renewable energy is the Sun.
Solar Energy
Solar energy we are taking with the help of solar panels, and the sun’s light we are using to power houses, cars, turn on lights inside and outside the home, and to keep many single appliances working.
Solar energy we can use to power almost anything.
Natural gas, oil, and coal are also byproducts of solar energy, since the plants and animals used to create these natural resources receive their energy from the sun.
Coal, oil, and gas we extract from the ground, and it gives undesirable effects on the climate, that’s why we are looking for an alternative energy and sun energy on this moment is the best choice.
Powering everything with solar energy isn’t possible just yet, since a way to capture enough sunlight to power everything in a home hasn’t been discovered, but many people use solar panels, which can be placed on the roof to attract sunlight that can be used to heat rooms and water and give us also electric energy. Solar panels can be easy purchased and hire a specialist, solar panels engineer to install panel on the roof of your house.
Year by year, prices of panels and panels maintenance are dropping down and economic profit we can see faster than we thought.
Solar panels and electric energy we extract in this way do a great job of climate conservation and let us reduce electric bills.
Solar Energy Conversion
There are two main ways of conversion of solar energy. First is the direct using of solar energy, which involves only one conversion into a usable form.
• Sunlight hits the solar panel and is converted into electricity.
• Sunlight hits the absorber surface of a solar thermal collector, and is converted into thermal energy, which can be used to heat homes and water for the household during all year.
The second way of solar energy conversion is the indirect solar energy, which involves minimum two conversion to reach a usable form.
• Biomass and biofuel. Plants use the phenomena of photosynthesis to transform solar energy to chemical energy, which can be burned later, as biofuel to generate electricity. The same is with biomass, we are using solar energy to get in many fast-growing plants used later as biomass fuel.
Pros and Cons of Solar Energy
Just like any other types of technology, also solar panels and biomass technology has ins and outs. Simply pros and cons.
Pros:
• Fully ecology source. Production of electrical energy with solar panels using is pollution-free.
• Solar facilities can be run with little extra input costs. Using of solar panels no need any of special, and expensive maintenance.
• To the most of the inhabited areas on Earth reach the sunlight for all year and there we can enjoy of solar panels profits.
Cons:
• Many of the locations can receive little sunlight per year, and power that will be produced in these locations is not a big, but producers of solar panels deliver on the market new, more effective models of panels.
• Production of solar energy is available only during daytime, not available during nighttime.
Massive development of the use of solar energy is growing up every year, many households, offices and industries in the world are powered by solar energy. This trend is progressing from year to year.
