Solar Panel Information.

1. Solar panels are connected up a backup
battery system, storing energy when it is
daylight to be used during darkness. Solar
panels can also be connected up to the
grid (the power system that powers most
of the country) through a special
electricity meter on the structure the
panels are on.

2. Photovoltaic (PV) Module solar panels are the
most common and widely used form of turning
the sun energy to create electricity. Each PV
module is made up of several PV cells arranged
to create the desired output. The PV cells use a
broad spectrum of the light emitted from the
sun to create electricity.

3. The most common form of converting heat
to usable energy is with a parabolic dish.
This is by intensifying and directing the heat
to a single focal point.

4. Solar Energy is captured from the
sun. It is the most self-replenishing
form of renewable energy and there
is nothing the human species can do
right now to exhaust it.

5. Solar Panels collects the heat or
photons (light) form the sun creating
Electricity.
