SOLAR
How It Works
Solar energy can be utilized to produce all the electricity your home or business runs on. A solar array consists of solar panels that are primarily made of crystalline silicon cells. A photovoltaic (PV) system converts sunlight directly to electricity. Unlike solar thermal systems for heating water, PV does not use the suns heat to make electricity. Instead, when sunlight strikes the cells, electrons are knocked loose from their respective atoms to create an electric current. This direct current (DC) is fed into the inverter box where it is converted into an alternating current (AC), which is what electrical grids as well as all homes and business use.
An e2sys solar PV system requires no maintenance, has no moving parts, is clean (no pollution, noise or fossil fuels), and is therefore one of the most environmentally friendly ways of generating electric power.
