| Solar panels are instruments that can convert light into | | | | The cost of purchasing panels is not as much as the |
| a more useful from known as electricity. They are | | | | gains over some years. Adding panel generation to the |
| made up of solar cells which actually do the work. | | | | home can save as much as $50 per month. In a year, |
| There are several reasons that encourage panel sales. | | | | this will accrue to $60 and for several years, the profit |
| Some of then are the durability, the workability, the | | | | is really much. Solar panels sales guarantees steady |
| efficiency, the cost, the incentives, latest technology, | | | | supply of electricity in areas where there are epileptic |
| usage. | | | | power supplies such as in the under-developed |
| DURABILITY | | | | countries. The system also saves the government |
| These panels are difficult to get damaged unlike most | | | | from spending a lot on pollution control measures. Solar |

| several years of installation | | | | THE INCENTIVES |
| THE WORKABILITY | | | | US government is working is working hard to make |
| Solar panels do not require so much investment since | | | | people see the need to buy solar panels. Apart from |
| they use sunlight. Silicon is used in most cases as | | | | providing education on its importance through the mass |
| semiconductors. Wires, batteries, charge regulator and | | | | media, the government has also developed plans to |
| an inverter are connected to generate electrical | | | | provide support in various states. In Georgia for |
| energy. The inverter is used to convert the Direct | | | | example, the government pledges its support by |
| Current produced by the cells into Alternating current. | | | | paying some installment fees and 15 cents for every |
| This is to suit the appliances used in the house since | | | | 1KWh installed for a period of 10 years. Similarly, in |
| most electrical gadgets are made to go with | | | | Arizona, people who combine solar energy and the |
| Alternating currents. | | | | grid power system get a discount of up to $4 per |
| The panels work all year. Whether in the winter or in | | | | watt of energy used. |
| the summer, what is really important is the sunlight that | | | | People who want to buy solar panels can enjoy its |
| comes to the earth and since the sun is not affected | | | | several applications. In irrigation, pumps supplied with |
| by seasonal changes, solar panels can work in the | | | | power from sunlight are used to supply water in farms, |
| winter at night once a battery was set up in the | | | | orchards, vineyard and gardens. The solar pumps are |
| connection during the day to store some charges. | | | | also used to supply water to livestock. |
| THE EFFICIENCY | | | | Other reasons to consider while choosing solar |
| Solar panels can convert up to 20% input energy into | | | | electricity are: the need to prevent respiratory |
| electricity. This efficiency can save a lot of money | | | | diseases which are caused by burning fossil fuels, the |
| when combined with that obtained from the public | | | | very low cost of maintenance and the reduced risk of |
