The energy from the sun gets converted into energy through the solar photovoltaic cells in the solar panels. After installation, the PV cells convert the sun’s energy into DC or direct current. An AC or alternating current is also produced when the DC is converted through the inverter connected to the system.
AC is the power your house needs, and it runs through a similar process to the electricity coming from the grid. You can potentially run the whole house using the solar panels as long as you get enough sunlight and the panels are installed in the right locations.
For now, many solar panel owners still connect their …

Many people postpone shifting their primary energy source to solar panels due to the high cost of the panels and installation. You have to look at it as an investment. What you will be paying now will give you considerable savings in your utility bills in the long run.
Through the years and with the aggressiveness of many companies to convince people to make the shift, the price of the panels keeps on getting lower. They are also offering many incentives and after-sales support. You have to know that using solar panels gives you federal tax incentives, other tax incentives, and continuous price drops of the tools and equipment used …

One of the most crucial decisions in shifting to the solar-powered energy source is the panels’ size to be used. It will depend on your monthly energy consumption, which will vary depending on the season and where you live.
Generally, about 34 panels of 250-watt solar panels are needed for an average structure with annual electricity consumption of 11,000 kWh. The sizes of the panels can be at around 65 x 39 inches for residential use and a bit bigger for commercial use since commercial buildings tend to be bigger. Each solar panel has 60 solar cells responsible for converting the energy from the sun to electricity.
