What is the difference between passive and passive solar?
Passive and passive solar refers to the building design. Passive is more advanced in its building design as it has super-insulation and a structure that can hold heat when its cold and can keep the house cool when its hot because it is a built system that does not depend on the sun. Passive solar also collects heat from the sun but it leaks air. The key difference is that Passive systems holds the heat and keeps the cool while...
What can solar powered systems be used for in the home?
Generally solar powered systems can be used to power both lighting and water heating systems. Did you know that if you use less electricity than you receive from your solar panels, in other words you have extra electricity stored up, you can sell this extra electricity back to your electric company for extra cash!

What is the photoelectric effect of solar cells?
The photoelectric effect is the scientific principle that makes solar power possible. The photoelectric effect is the principle referring to when electrons are released by photons making an electrical current, which is what makes it possible for the harvesting of electricity through the use of solar cells.
Does solar energy work in cold weather?
For photovoltaic (PV) system to work, all you need is unobstructed access to the sunlight for most or during the day. Climate is not really a concern, because PV systems are relatively unaffected by severe weather. In fact, some PV modules actually work better in colder weather. Most PV modules are angled to catch the sun's rays, so any snow that collects on them usually melts quickly. There is enough sunlight to make solar energy systems useful and effective nearly...
How long will it take to install a solar PV system?
20-30 years ago when solar technology was considered relatively new, installing a complete system used to be a very long and involved process that required a site inspection and many other preliminary steps . Today, a complete solar kit installation takes only a few weeks, from the planning and configuring stages through to the actual ordering and installing.
