How Is Solar Energy formed & and Why It’s Such a Great Alternative
Solar energy works exactly the same as the electricity you buy from the utility company. You switch on lights, plug in lamps and power appliances the same way you do right now. In fact, if you didn’t see solar modules on the roof, you’d never notice any difference, except a lower electric bill. While the science of converting daylight into electricity is complex, the idea is pretty basic. Solar energy is generated by a group of solar modules called an array that’s installed on your roof or in your yard. When sunlight falls on the solar modules, a DC electrical current is created instantly. The DC electricity is fed into an inverter that changes it to standard AC electricity, the same kind your home already uses.
You know that meter in your yard that tracks your energy usage? The dial spins forward as you use electricity. How slow and how fast it spins ultimately determines your bill. But did you know that it can spin in both direction? Whenever your
Solar Power System
produces more electricity than you use, the extra is channeled back to your utility’s power grid, making your electric meter spin in reverse. It’s called net metering, and it means you are earning credits on your bill. Net metering is available in nearly every state including the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico.
According to the American Solar Energy Society, the amount of sunlight hitting the earth in just one hour is enough to provide the world’s energy needs for an entire year. With that much potential, why isn’t everyone solar electricity?
There is more than one way to go solar. With so many ways to choose from, you and the your solar retailer can decide what’s right for your home and your family. Much of the decision is based on the amount of roof or ground space you have to work with. South-facing roofs produce the highest annual output; however, east and west facing roofs can also harvest good results. It is vital that your
solar module
array will not be shaded by trees, buildings or other obstacles for long periods the day.
The size of your system depends on how much electricity your household uses on a regular basis. You can figure this out by looking at the last 12 months of electric usage in kilowatt hours (kWh) on your utility bills.
The most cost effective use of your money is to balance your highest rates if you pay based on a tiered rate schedule. Instead of attempting to offset 100% of your usage, you might consider offsetting just a portion of your consumption.
