All home solar equipments come with installation instructions manual making it even easier to install the equipment. There are two most popular solar equipments for homes – Solar power panel and solar water heater. Both these home solar equipments are extremely useful for every home. Solar power panels are used to convert sunlight into electricity. These panels are a collection of numerous photovoltaic cells made from silicon. When light falls on these silicon cells it knocks electrons loose from the surface of the cells, allowing them to flow freely and generate electrical current. All the cells are interconnected with a series of very thin wires. Each cell produces an amount of electricity equivalent to 1 to 2 Watts; hence a very large number of solar cells are needed to be integrated into each solar panel. The electricity produced by these cells is in the form of Direct Current (DC) which is used by DC appliances. However, if you wish to use any standard home appliance you can get a sine wave inverter to convert the electricity from DC to AC. Solar water heaters are devices that are designed to use sunlight to heat water. Solar water heaters use mirrors to collect the heat from the sunlight and use it to heat water. It’s a very useful device for personal as well as commercial purpose. With everyone doing their part to save the planet, now it is your turn.
