Solar power is a new generation of renewable energy source. The use of solar cells/panels is increasing day by day. The use of solar power will be a norm in no time. Dubai is one of the cities in which the intensity and frequency of sun rays are high. There are many companies that are selling solar panels. Sunergy Solar is among such companies.
Before asking anyone to buy a solar panel, it is really important to know how it actually works. Solar power is a renewable energy. A solar cell also called photocell is made from a silicon wafer. When sunlight falls on a solar cell, it is capable to convert the light into useful electrical energy. Solar cells utilize the light energy emerging from the sun and transform it into electricity by photovoltaic effect. These are basically the creation of current or voltage in a material when it gets hit by the light exposure through a physical and chemical phenomenon. Most of the modules are crystalline silicon cells of water based or cadmium telluride or silicon comprises of thin-film cells. All the cells required top notch protection from moisture, dust and physical damage. They are rigid but utmost care of structural member either top or back is necessary
Solar energy components that make a solar energy system:
-
The roof system
-
Solar panels
-
Inverter
-
Net meter
In most situations, solar panels are installed on the roof top. The ideal situation being the area with no shade especially in the prime hours from 9 am to 3 pm. Not every roof got the perfect orientation to take advantage of the sun. There is roof system designed that follow the journey of the sun across the sky.
In solar panels, there is a negative and a positive film of silicon placed under a thin film of glass. As the photons reach the silicon, they knock the electrons.
The free electrons which are negatively charged are attracted & move towards single or respective side of silicon cell, which in result produce electric voltage that can be composed and transferred. Furthermore the current is assembled by wiring the separated solar panels together in a series which create a solar to produce a photovoltaic range.
The location of inverter is located in accessible area which is as nearer as possible towards the modules. But when it comes to a residential application, the specific inverter is often placed to the external sidewall of the house near to the sub panels or electrical main. The noise of inverter should be taken into consideration before selecting the location for placing it.
One of the main aspects of the solar is that it tied to the utility grid, and converted 120/240 volt AC by getting DC from the area. This AC current is directly goes into the distribution of utility power for the building. The power is usually net metered when solar electricity array generates, that means the demand of utilization reduces which directly affect on the decrease of the cost in utility bills.
Benefits of solar power:
All the above advantages make solar energy better than the traditional fossil fuel produced energy. Solar cells have brought a revolution to the electricity generation. It is cheaper, more reliable and long lasting.
