01.01.2022 Ever wondered how solar panels convert sunshine into #energy? Solar (PV) panels on the roofs of homes and businesses use energy from the sun to generate electricity via cells of specially fabricated semiconductor crystals. Solar doesn't generate #electricity all the time, but it does generate electricity when it is needed most during the day and during hot sunny periods when the demand for power (driven by air conditioners) is at its peak. Plus, because it generates electri...city at the point of demand (i.e. where people live and work) it means that there is no need to transfer energy over long distances using expensive electrical infrastructure. And, best of all, it means cheaper electricity bills. If you’re thinking of making the switch to #solar, then be sure to download our free Buying Solar guide to help you make an informed buying decision and take a look at this diagram to learn how solar works.
