Solar power helps climate change

We are now completely sure of the causes of climate change and man is the main culprit. Can we stop this long slide into planetary oblivion? Science tells us that igniting fossil fuels is causing thousands of premature deaths, diseases and other harm to life on the planet. Is there a way to create energy that doesn't harm life? Solar is the answer and it has been ready to go for some time.

How does a solar panel create energy?

A solar panel is really a collection of solar cells. They work together to supply electricity for various uses. A single cell does not have the capacity for generating much electricity so multiple cells are connected together to increase the cumulative capacity. The greater the light available to the solar panels,  the greater the quantity of electricity they can supply. Solar panels are designed to convert light into electricity. The process of extracting electricity from light is called Photovoltaic (PV) and the PV process transforms solar energy into electricity. A PV cell, also known as a self-generating barrier layer cell is a PV detector that converts radiant flux straight into electrical current. A solar panel consists of a thin silver film on a semiconductor layer deposited on an iron substrate.

A little solar history...

Solar energy dates back more than a century, to the center of the industrial revolution. But even before that, solar power for remote homes is gaining favor and becoming more practical in every way. In the recent past, people who wanted to live in remote areas had to pay an exceptionally high price for power.  It was often very difficult to get power to these remote locations because an electrical infrastructure is necessary to distribute power to home and businesses. But houses with solar technology are virtually self-sufficient and as a bonus, they have no worries about blackouts. prehistoric man oriented his home so that the sun would provide heat. There were many groundbreaking solar power plants constructed to produce steam from the heat of the sun, which was used to drive the machinery.  Photovoltaic power remained rare for many years since it was rather inefficient at turning sunlight into electricity. There are no harmful emissions from solar equipment and its operations are noise free, which makes it superior to alternative forms of electricity generation. The use of

Solar power has a great many uses, great and small. Even a phone box in the middle of nowhere can be powered by solar power from solar panels eliminating the need for underground cables or an expensive generator.

PV systems can now be used to power a wide variety of our everyday requirements from watches to hot water. The development of a commercial vehicle that can, at least partially procure its power from the sun will solve a lot of problems such as pollution emissions from the burning of fossil fuels and the value of using a finite resource will be greatly reduced. The more solar power we use the greater the relief on current powering systems and this can help avoid creating more nuclear reactors that produce horrific pollution problems with the attempted safe disposal of highly radioactive waste. Solar power simply doesn't present any of the problems that have hounded fossil fuels for all these years. Once you install solar, you will likely eliminate your electric bill and you will know that you are doing your part to make the changes needed for the planet to survive.,

There has never been a better time to install a solar energy system!
