Basics of Solar Energy
Today, you will learn how the inception of sunlight turns into electricity. Before I do that, though— let me inform you! It begins with the sun, that huge ball of fire way up in the sky. Solar energy is nothing but light and heat that the sun emits. This solar power is extremely potent and can be utilized to electric power properties and buildings. So, moving on we are going to discuss what makes up a solar system. There are three main parts which mak up a solar system — solar panels, inverter and battery. It is through the solar panels that everything works its magic — they absorb light and transforms this into electricity. The inverter converts this electricity into a form that can power our homes. The battery then holds that excess electricity for us to use when the sun is not out.
Capturing and Transforming Solar Energy
Picture an incredibly hot day with the sun beaming down. The Solar Panels on your roof, they're like a sponge soaking in all that sunlight! Solar panels are made up of tiny cells that absorb sunlight and convert it into electricity. It is simply what solar power really is, ie, Photovoltaic Conversion. Efficient Storage and Utilization of Solar Power
But what happens at night or on a cloudy day?
This is where the battery comes in! The battery holds the surplus electricity that gets created by your solar panels in the day. Therefore, even when the sun is not shining, we can use the power collected previously. It helps us in using the solar power effectively and also always produces electricity when we need. However, two step process vizThe Pathway of Electricity from Sunlight to
This is how electricity should be sourced from sunlight.
The sun shining brilliantly in the sky. The sun shines on your roof and the solar panel capture this light and convert it to electricity. The inverter will then convert the electricity into a useable form. Lastly, the battery retains any surplus electricity we may not use at that time Poof, we have electricity capable of lighting our homes and making life simpler. At the end of the day, SUNGO strives to make sure kids across the country can comprehend (from an early) age just exactly what a solar system is; from sun light into electricity.
