How Solar Panels Work
Solar Energy for Smart Electricity
Solar panels are at the forefront of renewable energy technology, converting sunlight into usable electricity through a process known as photovoltaics (PV). Solar panels are composed of photovoltaic cells, typically made from silicon, that absorb sunlight. When sunlight hits the cells, an electric field is created.
Electrons flow through the material which creates an electrical current, generating direct current (DC) electricity. This DC electricity is then transferred through wiring to an inverter, which converts it into alternating current (AC) electricity that is suitable for use in homes and businesses.
The AC electricity from the inverter flows through your existing electrical system, powering your appliances, lights, and other electrical devices. Any excess electricity generated that isn’t immediately used can be stored in batteries for backup power whenever needed.
Solar Panel Options
Types of Solar Panel Installations
At Whole Sun Solar, we offer versatile solar panel installation options tailored to your property’s unique needs and preferences. Whether you prefer roof mounted or ground mounted solar panels, we provide expert solutions to maximize solar energy capture and efficiency.
Roof Mounted Solar Panels
Roof mounted solar panels are installed directly on the roof of a building, whether residential or commercial. They’re a popular choice for homeowners and businesses looking to utilize available roof space for renewable energy generation without occupying additional land area. They integrate with existing roofing structures, providing a dual benefit of energy efficiency and aesthetic compatibility with the building's architecture.
Installation involves securely mounting the panels using specialized racking systems that ensure stability and weather resistance. This approach maximizes solar exposure throughout the day, optimizing energy production and contributing to reduced utility bills and environmental impact.
Ground Mounted Solar Panels
Ground mounted solar panels are installed on the ground rather than on a building's roof. This installation method is ideal for properties with ample open space or specific orientation requirements that may not be suitable for roof mounted panels. Ground mounted systems offer flexibility in placement and orientation, allowing for optimal positioning to capture maximum sunlight throughout the day.
These panels are mounted on sturdy frames or foundations, which are securely anchored to the ground. This setup enables adjustments in panel tilt angles to enhance energy capture efficiency throughout different seasons. Ground mounted solar panel systems can also be easily expanded as capacity needs increase.
