Ultimate Guide to go Solar

You would have probably heard that earth receives more energy from the sun in just an hour than the world uses in entire year. Given the stage at which global warming and fossil full implications are, it has become very important for us to figure out an alternative. While the majority of the world’s current electricity supply using forms of fossil fuel such as natural gas, coal, oil, these traditional energy sources have faced a number of challenges. Because of the limited availability rising prices and over dependency over the import of these finite resources from the countries with significant supply of fossil fuels were the major challenges. So there was an ultimate need to figure out ways to reduce the dependency over fossil fuels which are finite in number. As a result the renewable form of energy sources emerged as an alternative.

The solar power being one of the renewable resources is available in abundance. It is the power provided by sun. New technologies have come up which have made it easy for us to use the heat of the sun and convert it to a form which can be beneficial to us.  They can be harnessed through (PV) photovoltaic cells which turns the sunlight to electricity.

So why should we go solar? In what ways are they beneficial to us? Here are some ideas which can motivate you to make a switch to solar power.

  1. Easy installation of Solar collectors


             The upcoming technologies have now a day’s made it easy to install the solar power plant or a thermal model for electricity. The solar thermal collector are used to capture the sun’s heat and convert them into electricity. Above these the solar fins are fitted to capture the heat and transfer to the invisible solar water heating system. Their front sides are painted dark so that it can capture more sunlight. These devices can be planted over the surface of roof or building to get electricity supply.

  1. Solid home investment


             These solar collectors can be mounted on top of the roof. Your roofs are the smart place to install the solar collectors. This solar roofing allows the solar energy to be collected very efficiently and collectively. Easy way to get rid of your electricity bills, this will save you money and your energy bill every month.  These solar panels are durable. Since they have no moving parts hence are less prone to damage. Hence is an effective system for your home.

  1. Commercial buildings are also installing solar panel


             With the installation of solar panels in building you might not need any upfront capital for the use of electricity. You will not have to depend on the other form of energy sources for electricity. Also as a responsible business owner you can protect your environment.  With the usage of solar power, you can help in decreasing the amount of fossil fuel utilization which adds to the global warming as well. And if you own a commercial building, this fact can be considered that as energy costs rises, a building with built in renewable energy source will become increasingly sought after.

  1. Switch to solar vehicles


             The solar cars depend on the solar fins to convert the sunlight to electricity to drive their electric motors. The design of this sort of car is to minimal the amount of fossil fuel being used, the petrol and diesel. Not just this, solar panels can be fitted on top of the buses or the aircraft's as well. This is an again effective way how you can add more to your environment and switch to solar power in order to save yourself the cost of fossil fuel and use your vehicle the same way as you were already using. The lifetime of solar module is high so incorporating these to the motor vehicles will limit the cost of fossil fuels being used in daily life.
