What is solar power?

The sun has been burning and providing heat and light for thousands of years. The ability to harness this energy from the sun to generate heat or electricity basically is solar power.

This form of energy offers numerous benefits when compared to more traditional forms of power.

Why solar power?

Clean – Produces no fumes

Quiet – Lower sound pollution when compared to diesel gensets.

Low Maintenance – After the system is installed, it mostly runs itself.

Unlimited – The sun produces enough energy each second to sustain our power needs for 500,000 years!

How does it work?

Solar radiation is light – also known as electromagnetic radiation – that is emitted by the sun.

Solar technologies capture this radiation and turn it into useful forms of energy.

When the sun shines onto a solar panel, energy from the sunlight is absorbed by the PV cells in the panel. This energy creates electrical charges that move in response to an internal electrical field in the cell, causing electricity to flow.
