WHAT IS SOLAR?
If you're new to solar energy, you may be wondering how you can get power from a star that is millions of miles away. But the technology behind solar is quite straightforward.
The sun gives off light, which can be turned into electricity using photovoltaics. Solar PV panels are made using semi-conducting materials, and when light shines onto these materials, they create an electric field, which is when captured and turned into usable energy. It's a common misconception that solar panels only work when it's sunny, but modern panels can now capture energy even when it is cloudy.
When there are many of us switching to solar power, we are less likely to experience blackouts or brownouts. Every household in the UK that have solar panels installed, functions as a small power plant. This, in turn, provides us with a greater electricity grid security, especially in terms of natural or human-caused disasters.
Solar allows us to make use of a near infinite, green energy!
