New Solar Technology

New Technology solar systems are designed to operate with a minimal electricity loss to maximize electricity production. The main stream inverter companies like SMA have designed these precisely engineered devices to improve your solar system.

A new era in solarcenergy generation is here. From astounding new solar electricity products like AC coupled backup systems with banks of solar panels that provide electricity to run our homes and eventually cities, the solar revolution has begun and will grow. Yet too most people, how solar actually works is a mystery. How do these panels convert sunlight into energy that homeowners can use to power their appliances and their homes, a practice that ultimately protects the environment and leads to cheaper electricity bills and economic freedom?

Solar Panels to Electricity?

Solar panels contain photovoltaic cells that convert sunlight energy to direct electrical current (DC). The photovoltaic cells must be made of a material like silicon or a similar single cell semi-conducting material. As light enters the cells, the semi-conductor pulls the energy in the form of electrons from it and allows them to flow through the material. In essence, this flow is actually a current. While the absorption of the light into the cell is enough to free electrons, the cells also contain an electric field that can steer the electrons where they need to go. The current is then steered to be collected and drawn for external usage (electricity).

Power Your Home

After the photons are transformed into electricity, the panels direct this energy to power the home. Some homes, those independent of the utility grid, must rely on battery storage to store energy, yet they may also have to rely on backup generators when there is too much demand on the size of the system. Many people use solar in tandem with the utility companies so that they have a convenient back-up during fluctuating periods of energy. This net metering partnership is a bit involved, but it has also been evolving to become more effective as more and more people choose solar to provide the bulk of electricity to power their homes.

Solar Panels

Solar panels are differentiated in forms, quality and performance. The two main types of solar modules are monocrystalline that is slightly more efficient than your standard polycrystalline solar modules

Solar panelled power systems can consist of a number of panels called a solar array.  Depending on how much electricity you need, will determine the quantity of solar panels you’ll need to generate the right amount of electricity.

Mounting Structures, Racks and Trackers

Solar panel mounting structures secure your modules to your roof for sun exposure. Deger solar trackers allow the solar panels to track the sun for maximum solar irradiation.
