Five Myths About Solar Panel Cells

Are you ready to get rid of those excessively high gas and electric bills each and every month

? Quite a few people don't think about installing their own residential home solar energy systems and usually it's because of misconceptions they have about residential solar panels. Let's consider five myths about home solar panels and delete them as reasons to not convert your residence to solar.

Myth 1) "Residential solar energy is far too costly, it is going to take thirty years to recoup the initial costs." It costs extremely little to set up solar electric power in a home if you build your own photo voltaic panels. A photo voltaic panel diagram is really extremely uncomplicated and almost anyone can build one. But suppose you do have a pre-fab system set up. When you finance the expenditures, your monthly bill is still likely to be less than your utility bill is now.

Myth 2) "Solar panels weight too much, my roof will cave in." Not true - the actual photovoltaic panels that go up on the roof are really light weight. They're constructed of materials like silicon wafers, glass and aluminum and they're flat so their weight is spread over a large area. Furthermore, they're easy to set up.

Myth 3) "The panels will keep the sun from reaching my roof and it will be colder in the winter." Actually, the solar cells will add an extra layer of insulation to your home. The additional covering will save as much as 30% on heating demands.

Myth 4) "Taking care of a solar system would be a pain." Considering the fact that photo voltaic panels have no moving parts, there's practically nothing to go wrong and little maintenance to do. Think about it, satellites in outer space use photo voltaic systems for energy in an environment that ranges from freezing cold to boiling hot and there's no one out there to maintain them.

Myth 5) "The panels will damage my roofing." What's the sun doing to your roof now? Actually, solar panels will shield your roof from harmful Ultra violet rays and help your roof last longer.

There aren't many good reasons left to not convert your property to photo voltaic electrical power and you can find a lot more reasons than ever to convert. Here's one more to convert now, you can turn off all the electric power in your home for two weeks next winter when you take the dollars you saved on electricity all year and use it for a trip to someplace sunny and warm. Be sure to send your friends and neighbors a post card.
