| Imagine solar electricity not only powering your home, businesses, large-scale utilities and neighborhoods, streetlamps and portable electronics.
Every hour, the sun showers the earth with more energy than the world's entire population consumes in a whole year.
Photovoltaic modules or panels are made of semiconductors that allow sunlight to be converted directly into electricity. These modules can provide you with a safe, reliable, maintenance-free and environmentally friendly source of power for a very long time. Most modules on the market today come with warranties exceeding 20 years, and will perform much longer. The power produced by solar panels can be used to pump water, be stored in a battery bank or fed directly into the electrical distribution grid. Stored solar energy can be inverted and used to power electrical appliances in large buildings, in factories and in residential homes. Photovoltaic panels come in many shapes and sizes and are fully modular. Solar arrays can be as small as 5 or 10 watts for operating remote data-logging equipment or can form a solar power plant with an output in the 100's of Megawatts.
