Sustainable energy is provided from resources that can keep your home or business running without impacting climate change. Solar power is the best example of that.
Solar works by utilising photovoltaic cells to produce energy by transferring energy to light.
An array of modules, consisting of cells, produce volts. These are then put together with an inverter which connects the switchboard into the home or business. Power is then supplied to the structure, and excess power is returned to the network.
Solar panels are better for the environment, with no direct greenhouse gas emissions as the energy is all created by sunlight – no burning fossil fuels.
Plus we will never run out of it.
There are so many benefits to solar power:
