Things To Consider Before Installing Domestic Solar Power

Things To Consider Before Installing Domestic Solar Power What most people understand by solar power are those increasingly ubiquitous blue (usually) solar cells, more correctly termed Photovoltaic or PV cells. When grouped together to form a larger surface area they are called photovoltaic modules or, more commonly, solar panels. These are essentially semiconductors which (similar to computer processors and light emitting diodes) enable changes to the energy state of electrons. In the case of a computer chip, this difference between high and low energy maps to ...
