HOME SOLAR PANELS

What you should know about Home Solar Panels?

Home solar panels can be mounted on your roof or even on the ground. These home solar panels convert sunlight into electricity for your home - allowing appliances, motors, pumps and other devices to function.

Daylight must be present for your home solar panels to produce power. Some home solar panels have back-up batteries for storage in order for you to still draw power at night or during power outage. On cloudy days, your home solar panels will still produce electricity or hot water (depending on whether you have PV panels or Solar Thermal Panels).

Home solar panels can either turn sunlight into electricity or hot water. If your home solar panels are used to produce electricity, they cannot heat water or the air in your house. On the other hand, if your solar home panels convert sunlight into hot water and not electricity, they cannot power up your appliances and other electrical gadgets.

By having home solar panels you enhance the value of your home. A home solar electric system will supply a share of your electricity - reducing your electric bill. Your home solar panels can deliver uninterrupted power during utility outages for days or even weeks with battery backup. Solar hot water heating will deliver hot water even if your gas and electricity supplies are cut.

Depending on which part of the country you live in local authority and council grants and other incentives may be on offer when you decide to use renewable energy equipment such as home solar panels.

The use of solar energy has come a long way. It is more efficient and offers better value for money than ever before. With home solar panels, you can now run an array of appliances in your home with the power of the sun even when the sun is not shining!
