Solar Panels

Solar panels are the elements in a solar power system that collects the sun’s rays. After the rays are collected, they travel through the series to an inverter. The inverter changes the direct current (DC) to a useable alternating current (AC).

Solar panels are made in a variety of ways these days with recent innovations featuring thin film technology and portable solar power system capabilities. They are made with as few as 1 watt and on up past 200 watts. BP Solar, GE, AEE Solar, Kaneka, Sharp and Mitsubishi Electric are just a few of the brand name companies that manufacture panels.

Solar panels are the fastest way to convert your home from being dependent on the grid. Most areas offer state and federal assistance to purchase and install a solar power system at home. This assistance generally comes in the form of rebates and incentives.
