Solar Power Systems

A solar power system turns sunlight into electricity or heat. Photovoltaic systems used inside it, the usual kind, hold silicon cells in flat panels. The cells take in light and release direct current. An inverter receives the direct current and sends out alternating current that homes, businesses along with the grid accept. Grid-tied systems send extra power to the utility lines - off grid systems draw on the battery when the sun is down. Factories, single houses along with pocket microgrids all run on those systems; they replace coal or diesel with a fuel that does not exhaust itself and that emits no carbon while it works. Once installed, the arrays stand for decades as well as need only occasional cleaning and wire checks - they cut both emissions and long-term electricity bills.
