Solar PV Panels:

Do The Bright Thing

Solar PV panels are found on the roofs of homes and businesses in order to capture the sun’s energy cleanly and quietly. This light energy conversion takes place within the cells of specially fabricated semi-conductor crystals. While it is true that solar cannot generate electricity all the time, it does generate electricity when it is needed the most – during the day and on hot sunny days when electricity demand is at its peak due to heavy air conditioning use.

Save on greenhouse gas emissions

Solar power is a zero-emission electricity source. Unlike fossil fuels like coal, oil, and natural gas, there are no harmful pollutants released with this kind of power. One megawatt hour of solar generated electricity eliminates approximately one tonne of C02.

Widely used in Australia

There are around 200,000 rooftops across Australia that have solar PV panels installed and a majority of these are grid connected systems. However, there are also a number of off-grid systems in the more remote and regional communities scattered across the country. With adequate funding and incentives at both the national and local level, the growth of the solar PV industry will continue to flourish.

The potential has always been there

Australia is one of the sunniest continents in the world and this is why the potential for solar to make an impact as an energy generating source has always been there. With easy access to sunlight 365 days a year plus a multitude of open spaces, there is no reason why the country cannot have large scale solar installations generating many megawatts of electricity for sale into the grid.

If you want to do the bright thing for our planet, invest in some solar PV panels for your home. Once you get a system installed in your home or office, you will see a drastic reduction in your monthly power bill. Aside from this, you lower your carbon footprint at the same time. Why add to the problem when you can be part of the solution? Citisolar is an expert on all things solar and can help you set one up today.
