Advantages Of Solar Panels by GrecoSolar(m): 2:24pm On Jun 23, 2015
Solar panels, or photovoltaic panels, can be used to harness sunlight and convert it into electrical power for residential and commercial uses. Being firstly deployed in aerospace back to the 1950s, solar panels have been used for over half century in specialized fields. Advantages of solar panels have already been proved by the professionals, but these principal advantages of solar panels are summarized as below :

Solar panels only rely on the sun as its energy source to produce electricity. The sun delivers enough energy in one hour to meet global energy needs for an entire year. Electricity production from the sun through solar panels has already been regarded as one of the sustainable power generation technologies. Conversely, traditional electricity production uses fossil fuels as its energy sources, which have limited reserves and will not last too long before being used up.

Solar panels are pollution free when producing electricity. Solar panels don’t use any fossil fuels other than the light from the sun, hence they simply don’t give off harmful substances including carbon dioxide and sulphur dioxide to the environment. In addition, a solar panel doesn’t have any moving parts, which make the whole process of power generation noiseless.

Solar panels are easy-to-install and need very little maintenances. The installation of solar panels is virtually plug and play. They could be either set up on a ground or mounted on a roof-top. Solar panels have no moving parts, and once installed in places, they can operate as long as at least 25 years, so maintenance is kept at the minimum level.

Solar panels are cost effective on long-term basis. Installation of solar panels for homes and businesses could decrease or even eliminate utility power bills for decades to come. A solar photovoltaic power system is estimated to pay back itself in 8 to 12 years. After the initial installation costs have been recouped, the system will produce totally free electricity within its life with almost no operating and maintenance costs.

Solar panels can raise the value of a house or building. Through a research carried out in California, United States, it shows that the installation of a home solar power system can actually increase the value of the home.

Solar panels are becoming more and more affordable for everyone. The costs of solar panels have declined and the levelised cost of electricity (LCOE) from solar power is now competitive with conventional electricity productions. In some countries, there are also a number of financial incentives such as rebates and feed-in-tariffs offered by governments to support solar panel installations.

Advantages of solar panels are still more, and may not be fully covered. There has never been a better time to go solar and maximize your power savings while reducing carbon emissions.
