Use Of Photovoltaic Solar Power
Systems Has Grown Considerably
In Australia, household use of photovoltaic solar power systems has grown in the last decade. Thanks to increased public awareness on the dangers of climate change, systems now can cost less with the help of government incentives and rebates. Today, there are more than 100,000 solar systems delivering clean energy to many Australian homes. Fill in the form to become a part of this green power revolution.
When solar technology came into being
Solar power technology has been around for quite a long time, in fact as far back as the 19th century. However, it was only in the 20thcentury that development really took off due to the need to supply electricity to remote outback locations.
How PV panels generate power
Solar panels are typically arranged on the roof of your home or office building in a grid-like pattern. The energy conversion takes place within the modules of specially fabricated materials that make up your panels. Currently, there are five types available– Mono Crystalline, Poly Crystalline, Thin film Amorphous, Hybrid, and CIS (Compound). The process is quite simple since it requires no moving parts.
You’ll need an inverter
A lot of suburban Australian homes are connected to the electricity grid, which utilises AC (alternating current) electricity. However, the electricity that’s generated by your solar panels is direct current (DC). Due to this difference, your grid-connected solar PV system will need an inverter to transform DC into AC electricity that can run your household needs.
Even at night, solar is working for you
In the evening, when your panels are at rest, your home’s electricity is supplied from the grid. For systems that have an optional battery back-up, your inverter will regulate the charging of batteries. The electricity that’s stored in your batteries can be used at night or during black outs.
As our planet undergoes a myriad of physical and environmental changes, we have to do our share and protect the world that we live in. Investing in photovoltaic solar power systems is a small step towards a brighter future for mankind.
