solar panel

In the midst of an energy crisis and a far-reaching green movement, solar energy is finally gaining widespread momentum, especially in the blogosphere. Here’s a rundown of three processes involved in genterating solar power and related blogs.

Solar Electricity: Assembled in panels, photovoltaic (PV) cells create solar electric energy systems. Made from a semiconductor, the cells absorb the sun’s energy, freeing electrons found in photons of light to produce an electrical current.

Solar Thermal Power: These collection systems made from flat plates, evacuated tubes, or integral collector storage boxes collect, absorb, and distribute heat, cutting heating bills by 50-60%.

Passive Solar heating utilizes sunlight collection and absorption systems and integrates thoughtful building materials and design to distribute the sun’s heat, all without mechanical devices.

Sure, there are lots of technical details involved, but solar power overall is simple, practical, and accessible.
