Households are increasingly turning to solar panels for their energy needs. It makes your home more eco-friendly and will save you money on energy bills. When installing solar panels on Staten Island, it’s a good idea to familiarize yourself with how they work.
A beginner’s step by step guide to how photovoltaic solar, also known as PV, works:
The above guide covers photovoltaic solar, but there are two other types of energy we’d like to discuss: solar hot water and concentrated solar power.
Solar Hot WaterThis system works similar to the one we’ve covered, except the captured thermal energy is used to heat your home’s water. A solar hot water system consists of several components, which are a backup heater, a storage tank, a controller system, collectors, and a heat exchanger. Concentrated Solar Power
This type of solar power is also known as concentrating solar-thermal power or concentrating solar power. This system also uses sunlight to generate heat. With the use of installed mirrors, sunlight is reflected onto a specific focal point. The focal point acts as an absorber that collects and stores the energy.
