Solar System: Solar Panels

Solar panels are a great way to save money on your energy bills and reduce your reliance on the grid. This guide will discuss everything you need to know about solar panels, from how they work to how to install them. We will also provide tips on how to choose the right solar panel system for your home.

How Solar Panels Work

Solar panels are made up of photovoltaic (PV) cells, which convert sunlight into electricity. When sunlight hits a PV cell, it knocks electrons loose from their atoms. These electrons flow through the cell, creating an electric current. The amount of electricity that a PV cell produces depends on the amount of sunlight it receives.

Types of Solar Panels

There are two main types of solar panels: monocrystalline and polycrystalline. Monocrystalline solar panels are made from a single crystal of silicon, while polycrystalline solar panels are made from multiple crystals of silicon. Monocrystalline solar panels are generally more efficient than polycrystalline solar panels, but they are also more expensive.

Cost of Solar Panels

The cost of solar panels has come down significantly in recent years. The average cost of a solar panel system for a home is now around $15,000. The federal government also offers a tax credit of 26% for the purchase and installation of solar panels.

Choosing a Solar Panel System

The size of the solar panel system you need will depend on how much electricity your home or business uses. You can determine your electricity usage by looking at your past energy bills. The location of your solar panels is also important. The best place to install solar panels is on a south-facing roof that receives a lot of sunlight.

Financing Solar Panels

There are a few different ways to finance solar panels. You can pay for the system upfront, or you can finance it through a loan or lease. If you finance the system, you will need to pay interest on the loan.

Installing Solar Panels

The installation of solar panels is a relatively simple process. Solar Company Phoenix will mount the panels on your roof and connect them to the grid. The installation process typically takes a few days.

Benefits of Solar Panels

There are many benefits to installing solar panels. Solar panels can save you money on your energy bills, reduce your reliance on the grid, and increase the value of your home. Solar panels are also a clean and renewable source of energy.
