The cells in solar panels are what convert the light from the sun into energy that you can use as electricity.
You can use this electricity to set yourself free from the rising costs of electricity served up through power companies and you can use it to create a greener home.
Not only is a greener home good for the earth’s resources, but it’s healthier way for you to live as well.
You might think that solar panel cells are new and haven’t been around that long.
Actually, these cells first put in appearance back in the late 1800s.
Of course, there was a lot that scientists didn’t understand about the power and convenience that could be harvested by using these cells, but over time, this way of producing energy has gained in understanding and popularity.
At their simplest definition, these cells are semiconductors.
The semiconductors get the light from the sun and then, through electrons, produce the power you can use.
Think of the process as a current - much like you’d find current flowing through a circuit in your home.
If you touch the current, you’ll get an electrical shock because you’ve come in contact with the voltage - the amount of electricity running through that contact point.
To understand how these cells work to create energy, let’s simply.
The battery in your car has both a positive and a negative charge.
Solar panels work in the same manner.
The cells in the panels, acting as semiconductors, create a positive and a negative.
Electrons in the semiconductor are released when the sunlight hits it (the contact point).
This current is what’s used to create the electricity.
If you’ve ever looked at a solar panel, the cell is inside the square module, which is inside the panel.
Several modules make up the panel. The bigger the panel, the more modules, the more cells you’ll have.
What these cells can be used to power is amazing. Not only homes - but boats, RVs, and more.
If you have a vacation home and it’s a good distance from civilization and you don’t want your vacation to resemble life like Little House on the Prairie, then the cells in the solar panels can produce enough electricity to keep you in comfort.
Now, the good news for anyone who wants to switch to using solar energy is that you significantly reduce or eliminate your electric costs. B
ut, in many cases, because you’re going green, you might qualify for a tax break.
The federal government offers a tax break to people who use solar energy. In many cases, the state also offers tax benefits for those who use solar energy.
You’ll have to check with the state you reside in to see if you qualify. Be wise about saving and harness the power offered to you by simple solar panel cells.
