Solar Electric: The Residential Best Saving Energy
If using solar panels can help reduce carbon emissions because solar energy is a green (renewable) energy source. It does not emit harmful carbon dioxide (CO2) or other pollutants. Each solar system in a home can save 2,650 pounds of carbon dioxide per year (reduce 30 tons over a lifetime). Friends of the Earth director Tony Juniper said we will base the next industrial revolution on these clean green technologies. Solar panels come in a variety of sizes and can be flat and rectangular. The solar panel comprises a separate solar collector (solar cell) covered with a piece of glass. Each palm-shaped cell is octagonal and blue-black. We developed them to generate electricity, just like batteries. However, they generate electricity through sunlight, not chemicals. Photovoltaic is another name for these cells: “photo” in the Greek words “light” and “photovoltaic”. Named after the Italian physicist Alessandro Volta. There are two ways to save money by using solar systems. Once the sy...
