Solar Energy Facts | From the Advanced Solar Energy Experts
As your alternative energy partners, we know the benefits of solar energy (solar thermal and photovoltaic) systems and other renewable forms of energy to be significant, both in terms of saving money and keeping global warming to a minimum for the sake of future generations. But we also know that alternative energy systems can seem foreign and inaccessible expenses, a common misunderstanding in a world so dependent upon fossil fuels. We encourage you to read on—educating yourself about solar energy is the first step towards the reduction of excessive energy usage and deceleration of global warming. Solar Energy Systems: The Basics
What is Solar Energy?
The cleanest, most inexhaustible of all known energy sources, the sun outputs energy at an enormous rate. Solar Energy comes in the form of Thermal or Light energy.
Solar Thermal Energy vs. Photovoltaic Energy
Photovoltaic cells (PV) convert the energy of sunlight into an electric current for immediate use, or for later use after stored in a battery. PV panels offer versatility, rising quickly in popularity due to ease of mounting on building exteriors.
Solar Thermal energy refers to heating buildings by way of building designs and materials, or by using it as an alternative to electric or gas for hot water and radiant flooring (space heating).
What makes solar heating and photovoltaic energy systems the right choice?
Solar energy is cleanest, most consistently powerful alternative energy source available.
Solar energy systems are affordable and cost-effective for both commercial and residential properties. The price of designing for or retrofitting a solar hot water or photovoltaic energy system is worth the money it saves consumers and businesses in the long run.
