There are a variety of ways for converting sunlight into energy. We have photovoltaic cell technology which is the use of solar cells. The solar cells are made of silicon which is a semiconductor material which when hit but the sunlight electrons are kicked and lead to the formation of electricity. The photovoltaic cells are made in flat plates which are exposed to the sun to assist in the conversion of energy. Solar inverter obtains the direct energy from the photovoltaic cell and converts it to electrical energy. The most common photovoltaic cells are the solar panels that are mostly fitted in the rooftops of buildings to produce electricity.

Determining the best solar panel system to install in your home is always influenced by costs and energy efficiency. There are three major types of solar panels. Monocrystalline is the oldest type of solar panel which is made up of more than 40 solar cells. Traditional solar panels were made of silicon that facilitated the conversion of energy. These solar panels are also made of silicon which interacts with the sun and leads to the conversion of energy. Secondly, we have polycrystalline which is on the rise due to its efficiency. It is also made of silicon. Lastly, we have the new development that is made of silicon and they are thin in appearance and are referred to as a thin-film solar panel.

There is the endless benefit of rooftop solar. One of the cleanest energy available is photovoltaic energy. The energy produced can be stored by the use of home batteries to use during the change of weather when the production of the energy is low. Solar panels are a cost-effective way to cut down on electricity bills. The installation of solar panels on the roof increases the value of the home. The solar panels also make the user save a lot since the maintenance cost of solar is very low. The only major disadvantage of solar panels is the fact that it depends on the weather for the production of energy to happen.
