What is Solar Power?
Solar technologies convert sunlight into electrical energy through photovoltaic (PV) panels.
How Does Solar Photovoltaic (PV) Work?
Each solar PV panel is made up of a number of connected solar cells. Solar panels absorb the light when the sun is shining and the silicon and conductors in the panel convert this light into direct current (DC) electricity. This electricity runs into an inverter, which converts the DC electricity into alternating current (AC) electricity which is usable in your household.
Can Solar Power Electricity Be Stored?
The power generated by a PV solar panel system needs to be used immediately.
There are a range of battery storage options available that allow the storage of excess solar energy for use later.
Will My Electricity Bill Lower With Solar Energy??
If solar energy generation is being used first in your household, your electricity bill will be reduced, as you will only draw additional energy from the grid when required.
Solar provides energy savings for households that use a significant portion of their solar generation.
Your cost savings will depend on a variety of elements; how much your electricity costs, how much of your solar generation you use and how much power your system generates.
