| Solar energy and solar power equipment are great | | | | Solar energy has low economically cost as you don't |
| alternatives to using high cost electricity and energy | | | | have to ship the sunlight anywhere and the only |
| derived from other fossil fuels. The sun's rays are free | | | | section of solar power that might cause a small |
| so outright the actual cost of solar energy is much | | | | amount of pollution comes from actually making the |
| less. The field of solar panel is call photovoltaics. This | | | | solar panels, and this is still minimal. |
| field mainly deals with solar cells which convert sunlight | | | | Many governments and electric companies offer |
| directly into electricity. This electricity can then be used | | | | incentives to those who are interested in converting to |
| to power your house and any excess can be fed | | | | solar energy. Government s will refund part of your |
| back into your electrical grid. | | | | installation fees and you can earn credits or be paid |
| There are many solar cell companies world wide and | | | | for any energy excess energy that you feed back |
| as quite a few of them have been around for a | | | | into the system. You can actually run your whole |
| number of years the actual cost of solar power is | | | | home or building off of solar energy if you have back |
| around $7 per watt, including all equipment needed to | | | | up batteries for night time and very cloudy days. There |
| convert, store and collect the solar energy. Solar | | | | has not been much research conducted on |
| energy is fantastic as is emission free and one of the | | | | photovoltaics so expect some great improvements |
| most environmentally sound types of energy available. | | | | over the next few years. |
