Solar Electric Power Systems - Facts:

Solar Electric Power Systems featuring superior Sharp Solar Panel. Purchase a solar power system today and start saving tomorrow. The beauty of solar electricity is it is modular, so you can install some to meet a portion of your electricity needs and then expand the system as your budget allows. Government rebates, tax credits and grants can cut the cost of your solar roof by up to 60 percent in some areas. He estimates a typical home requires about two watts of pv power per square foot of floor area, but that amount can be cut in half, to about one watt per square foot, by using energy saving appliances, such as compact fluorescent lightbulbs. Solar didn't really generate much interest back on earth until the 1970s, when a series of oil price hikes and gasoline shortages stunned americans, plunged the economy into a recession, and left the country at the mercy of expensive and unpredictable foreign oil.

In areas where electric rates are already high, solar pv systems are a pretty good bet at $8 per installed watt, even without a rebate and without adjusting for future electricity rate hikes or declining costs per pv watt. The solar energy that falls naturally on a building can be used to heat the building without special devices to capture or collect sunlight. Most people know solar photovoltaic (pv) panels as large, heavy, rectangular panels mounted onto a roof or sometimes on a special rack with a tracking system that turns the panels to keep them facing the sun. Add some antioxidation compound to keep connections from crusting up during use.

If you size your interconnects to your system's needs and properly build and install them, you will rarely run into a situation where they fail. Some companies already are willing to bet on solar-and not just with their research budgets. An indirect gain system, by contrast, captures heat between the sun and the living space, usually in a wall that both absorbs sunlight and holds heat well. There it gives off heat and returns to liquid form.

Unlike photovoltaics, solar thermal technology is not yet commercially viable. In this system, the pv roof is connected directly into the commercial utility grid. The sun's heat brings the mixture to a boil. Don't be conned into trying automotive batteries for this application (one of the most common bits of bad advice); they just aren't designed for it.

The net difference between electricity exported to the grid and grid-electricity used forms the basis for the homeowner's electric bill.
