Solar energy is widely considered the most abundant energy resource on the planet. Several technologies are used to harness sunlight and convert that to electrical energy, including photovoltaic panels (PV) or mirrors designed to concentrate solar radiation. When not used immediately, the energy is stored in thermal storage or batteries.

The most known type of solar energy is photovoltaics, which is mainly used to build solar panels. When UV rays hit the panels, energy is absorbed by PV cells within the panel. The energy is known to create electrical charges that move because of an internal electrical field; this causes electricity to flow.
Systems with mirrors are referred to as concentrating solar-thermal power systems. Mirrors are used to concentrate and reflect sunlight to receivers that collect and convert energy to heat. The heat is used to create electricity for immediate use. The energy can also be stored in batteries.
Deciding to go solar helps to reduce energy costs significantly. Not only that, but it also contributes to a robust electrical grid and is great for the environment. Systems are installed without removing a home or office’s ability to pull from the grid, which means that you will never lose power even on long and dark days.
Solar technology has come a long way, and as a result, it has become more affordable and accessible. For more information on installing solar panels Staten Island, you should not hesitate to give our talented team a call.
