What are Solar Panels?
The solar panel is a device that converts sunlight into electricity. Sunlight comprises photons that are energy particles. Moreover, solar installation offers various benefits. Let’s explore these benefits.
How Does Solar Panel Work?
Solar panels convert sunlight into electricity through a process called the photovoltaic effect. These panels consist of various individual cells that contains layers of silicon, boron, and phosphorus. The phosphorus layer has a negative charge, whereas the boron layer has a positive charge. Solar panels absorb energy particles known as photons from sunlight. The absorbed energy knocks out electrons from their atomic orbits, causing the free movement of electrons, thus generating electric current. This process is how solar panels generate a direct current. Furthermore, the solar panel inverter converts the direct current into alternating current. Alternating current electricity is used to power electrical appliances in homes, institutes, businesses, etc. If solar panels produce more energy than the required amount, this energy can be stored in batteries or a grid for later use.
What are the Benefits of Solar Panels?
There are numerous benefits of solar energy. Some of them are:
Renewable and Clean Energy Source
It is a renewable and clean energy source. Solar energy does not release greenhouse gases. Additionally, it is environmentally safe compared to burning fossil fuels for electricity generation. Furthermore, solar energy involves almost no water use whereas power plants require water for electricity generation.
Reduction in Bills
Low Maintenance Expenses
The solar panels have low maintenance expenses. They only need good and clean physical conditions to work properly. Additionally, if they are kept in good condition their average lifespan is approximately 25 years. Thus, spending your money on solar installation is worth it.
Generation of Electricity in every Climate
Solar panels can generate electricity in any climatic condition. It works perfectly fine during snowfall and cold weather. Moreover, snow cleans the solar panel surface when it melts. The snow reflects sunlight onto the solar panels thus increasing the amount of light they receive. This leads to more electricity generation.
Improved Home Value
Solar installation increases the home value. Let’s discuss in detail how solar installation increases home value.
How Solar Energy Boosts Property Value?
Solar installation is a great way to increase your property’s value. However, it can be influenced by various factors. One study indicated that solar installation increases the home’s worth by 4%. Moreover, in recent years the demand for solar panels has been very high because of its various advantages like energy saving, low electricity bills, etc. Some factors influencing property worth after solar installation are as follows:
Area
Without a doubt, your home’s location can impact your property’s worth. Hence, the worth of homes with solar installation increases in locations with enough sunlight and high electricity costs. Moreover, if your home is in an area that values environmental sustainability, solar installation can increase its perceived value. Furthermore, if you live in an area where the government supports solar installation, in this case homes with solar energy installed have increased home value.
Electricity Cost
One of the significant for determining solar panel installation impact on home worth is electricity cost. Solar panel installation reduces energy expenses by a huge amount, thus reducing electricity bills. This adds to home value.
Ownership of Solar Panels
If an individual selling his/her house owns the installed solar panels, he/she can easily transfer it to the buyer while selling their home. But, if he/she has solar panels on lease then this requires working with a solar company to determine who will take over the lease. Additionally, it’s crucial to know, when buying a home, who owns the solar panels to avoid confusion and legal issues.
Condition of Solar System
Solar system’s condition impacts home worth. Well-maintained and efficiently working solar panels will have more buyers thus increasing the home’s worth. Additionally, the solar panel’s life span and proper functioning, are guaranteed by regular inspection and cleaning. Thus, keeping solar panels in good condition not only increases energy production but also the property’s worth.
What are the Steps for Solar Installation?
Typically, the following are the steps for solar panel installation:
Assessing Location and Design
The professional expert visits the home to assess the roof’s location, design, and size. Moreover, he/she also evaluates your energy requirements. After assessing everything, the expert customizes the solar panel design for maximum efficiency and energy.
Necessary Paperwork and Permits
Furthermore, the solar company manages all the essential paperwork such as permits, agreements, applications, etc.
Solar Installation
Connection with Electrical Grid
The next step is connecting the solar system with the electrical grid.
Monitoring
Solar company installs a monitoring system to track solar panel performance.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the optimal performance of solar panels.
