subject: Solar PV reduces your electricity bill [print this page] Worried about how to reduce your electricity bill? A solar PV (photovoltaics) can be considered as an effective and sustainable solution in bringing down the electricity bill as they can produce good amount of electricity that can be used to run domestic appliances. Solar PV is a renewable energy system that converts sunlight into electricity with the use of photovoltaic modules. Voltaic cells are a series of thin layers of semi-conducting material, usually silicon, that capture the sun's energy and transform into electricity.
Solar PV are panels attached on the roof or walls of a house. While installing, you should give extra importance to the position of installing a PV as the modules must receive maximum amount of sun rays possible to produce electricity. When sun's rays fall on the panel it creates an electric field. The ideal position of installing a PV is towards south-facing roof. Furthermore, PV modules are designed and developed to work even in a cloudy day and operate better at cooler temperatures.
What are the benefits of solar electricity?
It is green, renewable energy and does not emit any harmful carbon footprint or other pollutants. Unbelievably, a typical PV can save 1200 kg (approx) of CO2 per year.
It stores electricity for a rainy or cloudy day. Houses that are not connected to the national grid can store excess amount of electricity and use later.
Solar electricity can reduce electricity bills and allow users to save good amount of money.
After the installation, very little or no maintenance is required.
Solar PV modules have a long life span up to 25 years and also they demand less maintenance. If you are thinking that it is the perfect investment then get help of the experts engineers. So, you can save you hard earned money and get the required amount of electricity for household activities with the help of solar PV.
