Let us go green! It has been the plea of most organizations that has been fighting for the right of the environment. And many of us have been listening to them, even the major countries have been thinking of ways on how to reduce the use of fossil fuels as a source of electricity. With the different attempts, many have succeeded as they use renewable energy for their electricity needs. This is very beneficial for nature and their economic stability. If the government has been doing their part, what can we do as citizens? Do we have to build our very own renewable energy source to help? The answer is simple though, let the big boys handle the economic source and let us consider having our very own Solar Panel.
We are aware that solar panels work by conducting heat from the sun and transforming it to electricity that we can use for our electrical needs. Aside from the free electricity, it has been proven that it can also help us save the environment as we lessen the use of fossil fuels that has been the main source of electricity before. As the demand for solar panels increases, manufacturers have introduced other types of panels available in the market and it is up to us to choose the best one that suits our needs.
This is known to be the most efficient type of solar panel, because when the sunlight hits the panel, the majority of it turns into electricity compared to the other types. As an end result of its high silicon content, it is also more expensive than the others, but household owners should not fret for they will only need a few of these panels. That is why they are ideal to be used on residential and industrial roofs. 1.Monocrystalline Silicon (Single Silicon)
Unlike Monocrystalline Silicon, Polycrystalline have a lower silicon content that makes it more affordable but less efficient. The good news about this panel is its construction design can make up for the loss efficiency due to its low silicon content making it an ideal roof panel. 2.Polycrystalline Silicon (Multi-silicon)
This type of solar panel looks like a real roofing tile which look really nice but it also makes it even more expensive. The downside of having this panel is its less efficiency than a conventional PV, in short, a panel like this requires a sunny spacious roof to work effectively. 3.BIPV (Building Integrated Photovoltaic)
This type of solar panel has nothing to do with electricity. Instead of producing electricity it produces hot water for homes and pools. Some of these systems also provide heat and air conditioning which are great for houses that can experience extreme cold during winter. 4.Solar Thermal Panels
