What Is Solar Energy?

Solar energy means using the energy of sunlight to provide electricity, to heat water, and to heat or cool homes, businesses or industry.

Solar energy

• Saves you money
• Is eco-friendly
• Is independent/semi-independent
• Is low in maintenance, or needs no maintenance.

There are two methods by which solar energy is converted into a usable source of power. Both methods use solar panels to collect the solar energy but one process focuses on the sun’s heat and one process focuses on the sun’s light. When setting up a home to use solar energy for its power source, the most efficient home solar setup will utilize both processes.
