How does solar PV work?
There are two ways to harness the power of the sun: solar photovoltaic and solar thermal. Solart specializes in both.Solar thermal concentrates the light from the sun to create heat and does not make electricity, except in the case where the electricity is used to turn a generator. Solar panels can be used to collect and capture heat from the sun and transfer it for water and space heating in buildings.
Photovoltaic (PV) technology is the world’s most reliable method of generating solar power. The Photovoltaic effect works when photons of light from the sun hit electrons in the PV panel, exciting them into a higher state of energy that produces electricity.
PV modules can be mounted on the pitched or flat roof of a building and can also be ground mounted in rural areas. Modules are installed in an array that gathers sunlight and ultra violet radiation and converts it into direct current (DC) electricity. The PV system includes an inverter that takes the DC energy and converts it into alternating current (AC) energy that you can use to power your home, farm or business.
The ideal roof for a PV System has a south-facing slope that isn’t blocked by trees or other buildings. East and West facing roofs can also be viable candidates for a solar system.
