What is a Solar Panel?

Posted on the 19 December 2018 by Loom Solar @LoomSolar
Solar panels absorb sunlight as a source of energy to generate electricity. A photovoltaic (PV) module is a packaged, connected assembly of typically 6x10 photovoltaic solar cells. Photovoltaic modules constitute the photovoltaic array of a photovoltaic system that generates and supplies solar electricity in commercial and residential applications.
What is a Solar Panel?
Each module is rated by its DC output power under standard test conditions (STC), and typically ranges from 100 to 365 Watts (W). The efficiency of a module determines the area of a module given the same rated output - an 8% efficient 230 W module will have twice the area of a 16% efficient 230 W module. There are a few commercially available solar modules that exceed efficiency of 24%.
Reduce your electricity bill:
The immediate benefit of it is to drastically reduce your electricity bill to zero or near zero. Solar is a one-time investment with a guaranteed life of 25 years. With the 25 years of Power purchase agreement between you and the state government, while the electricity that you purchase from the local utility is month to month. In the long run, you would be paying much more money to your utility than your initial investment.
Do Solar Panels Require Maintenance:
Modern solar panels are incredibly reliable, yet, they do require proper caring and cleaning to stay in top shape to guarantee you receive the most significant solar savings possible during the next 30 to 40 years. So if your solar panels don't experience any physical damage by high winds, debris, or other factors - you can rest easy knowing they'll last you decades. Sunrun does offer a comprehensive solar panel service guarantee that will keep your system in top shape for years to come.
Avail Accelerated depreciation benefits:
You could avail 40% accelerated depreciation benefits today and get an immediate benefit of 13% reduction in your overall cost of the system.
Low Maintenance:
Sukam Solar panels require very less maintenance. Rain and snow is all you need to remove for maximum efficiency.
