Home Solar And Wind Power

by Adrian Fletcher

They can even be wired into the utility grid connected system to supply the majority of your energy needs while the utility company functions as your backup energy source.

In a solar power system, the light from the sun is the source of electricity. Solar panels are mounted onto a roof, poles, or on the ground. The panels are lined with a semiconductor material that creates electricity when hit by the rays of the sun.
