Have you ever considered solar power and how it works? Well, Solar Power is literally energy from the radiation of the sun that is converted into electricity or heat. The energy from the sun is collected by using solar panels. A solar panel is one large flat panel that is made up of smaller individual solar cells. With the onset of load shedding and power cuts in South Africa, more and more homes are looking into investing in solar power systems.
In this day and age, and especially living in South Africa, who can afford to not have a back up plan when it comes to power? We have found Solar Heating Panels to be growing in popularity. Solar Panels are excellent for running your house hold, providing you with sufficient energy and saving you money at the same time!
Solar panels are usually placed on the roof of the building and convert the suns’ rays into active energy. The solar panel contains a heat transfer fluid which traps the energy supplied by the sun and transfers it to the designated area requiring energy or heating.
With both financial and environmental benefits, who could resist converting their home to solar energy? Many people who have converted their households to solar heating systems are saving as much as 40% on their heating costs and of course still have hot water should the electricity be down.
And if you are slightly concerned about those overcast and rainy days, most solar power systems come with a back-up battery system that stores energy for just that!
