Solar energy can help you reduce your energy bills. The sun's energy is converted into electricity by using solar panels.
The sun produces radiant energy by consuming hydrogen through a process of nuclear fusion reactions. A portion of this solar energy consists of photons and it is this portion that eventually travels to earth, taking approximately 8 minutes and 20 seconds to complete the journey.
The earth receives and collects solar energy through its atmosphere, as well as through its oceans and plant life. Solar energy then interacts with oceans on Earth and atmosphere resulting in the creation of winds which can in turn produce electricity when directed through aerodynamically designed wind machines.
Solar photovoltaic cells convert solar rays into electricity. Photovoltaic literally means 'light energy'. Individual cells are packaged into modules called arrays that act similarly to batteries when the sun is shining, producing a stream of direct current [DC] electricity that is then channeled into buildings or shared with power grids.
The inverter then convert DC electricity generated by the arrays into alternating current (AC) electricity. This AC electricity is then able to be used in buildings, schools, homes and businesses to power electrical devices like lights, computers, and appliances. In this way, solar energy is able to effectively meet all our electrical needs in a clean, convenient, and environmentally-friendly way.
You can now use this electricity to power up all office equipment
and home applicances.
