domum solis et altilium

Did you know you could help the Earth, and save your pennies along the way? Fun fact, you can do both in a cool way! You can also install a home solar energy system in your residence. In a home solar energy system, your roof is fitted with special panels called solar panels. These panels absorb light from the sun and convert it into electricity that can be used to power your home. Isn’t that neat?

Solar panels consist of dozens of smaller parts known as solar cells. Solar cells interconnected to create a larger panel. Once sunlight hits the solar cells, it generates electricity today so that you can now utilize it for multiple purposes in your home, such as powering lights, your refrigerator, or your computer. The cool thing is this electricity is free and powered by the sun. This means you don’t have to pay for it, and that it doesn’t run out the way fossil fuels like gas or coal do.
