Residential solar power can be created by converting solar radiation into other forms of energy that can serve your household needs. For this, you need a Solar power victoria system. Similar to other types of renewable energy, solar energy is clean and environmentally friendly. On top of this, solar energy is found in abundance and will not run out for the next few million years. Solar radiation can either be converted into electricity or it can be used to heat up air and water. Heat absorbed by air can be used to warm up your room. Water heated by solar radiation can be used for a hot shower or to fill up your pool. When solar energy is converted to electricity using solar panels, there is no limit to what you can do with it. This is the most common way of tapping solar power for residential use. A solar panel typically consists of sections of inter-connected semi-conductor cells. A cluster of such panels, called an array, adds up the individual power production to form higher energy. Photovoltaic panels have to be placed in a location exposed to direct sunlight. Very often, your roof is the ideal place for solar panels to rest on. The light collected by photovoltaic panels is transformed into electrical energy with the help of PV cells. Direct current is generated, which are then converted into AC current with the help of an inverter. When sufficient electricity is generated from the sun, they are fed into the mains to form a grid-tied system.
