Solar panels
Solar photovoltaic (PV) systems, or solar panels, are among the most common ways residents can generate clean, renewable energy at home.
Solar panels harness sunlight to produce direct current (DC) energy, which is then converted to alternating current (AC) through an inverter. By using sunlight to generate energy to power your home and devices, you can reduce greenhouse gas emissions, lower your energy bills, and keep essential systems running during power outages.
Want to maximize efficiency? You can enhance your solar setup by incorporating a battery storage system. This special battery allows you to store extra energy so you can use it later, like when it's dark outside or if the power goes out. Some systems even allow you to connect your electric vehicle charger, so you can drive your vehicle fuelled by the power of the sun. Now, that’s a bright idea!
