How Do Solar panels Works?
Solar panels are made from a combination of two elements the silicon and silver. and every solar panel is composed of many individual cells connected in series and parallel also known as photovoltaic cells. Solar panels work by absorbing sun lights through the photovoltaic cells. The voltage generated by this solar cells is a direct current (DC) energy. This DC energy is then passed through an inverter which will convert the DC energy to an alternating current (AC) energy. The Inverter that produces the AC energy is then connected to the homes main distribution panel and is distributed accordingly to the house lighting, power outlets and equipment.

Solar power critics always say that solar panels are useless and don’t produce electricity during cloudy days. This claim is absolutely false. Solar panels still produce electricity during cloudy days. Here’s how it does during cloudy days solar panels produce less energy compared to full sunny days. it could only produce between 10% to 25% of their typical power output on the cloudy days.
Solar Photovoltaic panels converts sunlight to electricity so perhaps we think that the more sunlight it gets the better, but that is not always the case. because sunlight generates heat from the infrared radiation that it carries and not just the light that we actually see. The more light the solar panels get the more power it produce, but once it gets hotter its performance will also degrade and will affect the power it produce. AS the temperature exceeds 25 degrees centigrade the solar power output starts to degrade.
The biggest advantage of installing solar panels here in California is the net metering law in which all excess energy generated by the solar panels in KWhrs during day time that is sent back to the grid is same KWhrs value that the consumer can use for their home or business during night time or during the time that solar is not producing power. the other advantage is the 26 percent federal tax credit. and with various financing options that the customer wont need to pay upfront cost for all solar project unless the customer decides to pay the solar project from their own.
The most important requirement is to gather the Kilowatt Hours ( KWhr) usage of the electric bill. It should be complete 12 month data to determine the yearly normal usage of that home or business building. But if the 5 minute interval data. can be collected would be much better. This data can be downloaded form the Utility Company website. We can guide you through all the steps so please contact us now.
Monitoring is already part of the system once the system is commissioned and turned over that includes setting up the monitoring app. it can be monitored on the phone or computer. this could monitor the power production daily.
the 26 percent tax credit until the end of this year, and the Self Generation Incentive program.
