How To Build a Solar Panel To Save Electricity In Your Home

May 9, 2009 - PRLog -- Learning how to build a solar panel isn't really a difficult task. To get started, you have to know and understand the basics of the installation.

1. Positioning of Your Solar Panel:

Solar Panels require sun energy to generate electricity, therefore, the best location for the Solar Panel to receive the most exposure to the Sun is none other than rooftops. Alternatively, you can also position the Solar Panel on an empty piece of land that is close to the main area. Another important point is that the Solar Panels have to be correctly angled to the face the sun direction in order to receive direct sun rays.

2. Understanding Solar Photovoltaic (PV)?

Solar photovoltaic (PV) is the main element which made the system converts sunlight into electricity. Electrons are released when the semiconductor material in a solar module gets in contact with the sunlight. Consequently, electric currents are created.

The Solar photovoltaic type of Solar Power System is connected to the local utility and this allows the storage of electricity generated during the day to be utilized in the night.

3. Benefits of Solar Panel

• Tax Incentives (Check your area for rebates offered by governments)
• Save Electrical Expenses
• Power your electrical appliances
• Affordability
• Environmental friendly

Get to know more on how to build a solar panel and employ this valuable technique in your household. Before you know it, you'll be already saving much money on electrical expenses.
