Photovoltaic panels are gaining territory

Recourse to green energy is a sine qua non condition for bridging the electrical energy deficit. Several households and even households to reduce the costs related to the consumption of electric energy have chosen solar energy. This is when photovoltaic panels have been on the rise in homes for several decades. Read this article to learn more.

What is a photovoltaic panel?

A photovoltaic panel is an assembly of reflective solar plates that collect the heat produced by the sun (solar rays) in order to transform them into electricity. This energy is converted into direct or alternating current thanks to an inverter called silicon. The voltage of the electricity produced is generally 230V. The direct current produced is stored on batteries and can be used directly in the homes. However, it should be noted that not all household appliances are suitable for this form of energy yet.

What types of photovoltaic panels are found on the market?

The boom in the solar energy sector has not only improved the capacity of photovoltaic panels, but also created low-voltage household appliances that can run directly on solar energy. There are two types of photovoltaic panels which are made from silicon. These are monocrystalline panels in dark or black color and polycrystalline panels in blue color. Monocrystalline panels, due to their structure, capture the sun's rays more efficiently and directly, while polycrystalline panels, on the other hand, capture ambient light more naturally.

What are the advantages of a photovoltaic panel?

Photovoltaic panels offer you an almost free and inexhaustible source of energy from the sun. You no longer need electricity, if you have a large installation of solar panels, with the appropriate devices. They are also ecological and protect the environment because they do not release carbon dioxide (CO2); which contributes to the fight against climate change.
