Solar panels have solar cells present in them made of semiconductors whose purpose is to convert sunlight to electricity. When the cells get hit by the light, the electrons get separated from their atoms and flows through the cells generating electricity. they also have a strong frame that keeps them in place under any weather condition
The initial cost for solar panes can range from $11,688 to $15,812
Although their initial cost is slightly high, the payback time is quite short because of the savings done on electric bills and government aids.
They carry a warranty and a standard one of 25 years and can last 30-40 years.
A tilted roof will require less cleaning because rain helps in cleaning it. Additionally, the panels are known to be long lasting.
. Once installed, no maintenance is required. The only thing required is to ensure that they are kept clean and not shaded by anything.
The panels need not direct sunlight for them to work despite the fact that their maximum efficiency is arrived at when the sun is shining. They still produce electricity on a cloudy day as well as winter periods. They also provide free electricity during day time when it is extremely expensive and more vulnerable.
Their additional advantage is that they can be installed in any type of a building, bridge, road, satellites and spacecraft. Its energy is having its way to all life aspects. Lightweight and portable panels are now present on the solar blinds for different windows and other small devices like phone chargers. Cars in the next generation, as well as boats, are now updating to solar. Large and empty areas are highly being used to host solar farms with the largest one in California, generating 90% of the world's solar power produced commercially
To have the panels installed domestically, one does not really need to make a planning permission application as long as the installation does not protrude more than 200mm. Permission is only needed when the system is too large or placement within protected sites.
