Going Solar: Part 1

As this wave of energy efficiency runs thorough America, solar seems to be on the forefront of power availability. We want to share some information on why getting power from the sun many be the answer in some homes. Solar electric systems, which are also called photovoltaic, are reliable, pollution-free and use a free energy source-the sun. Photovoltaic systems take sunlight and directly converts it into electricity. They are able to collect and transfer energy any time the sun is shining, but more electricity is produced when the sunlight is more intense and strikes the PV modules directly. A PV system never runs out of fuel, never produces air pollution or noise, it won't increase U.S. oil imports, it offers security of increasing energy prices....and so much more. Its installation and practical application in your home, may be a bit trickier.
