Solar Modules

A solar cell, also called a photovoltaic cell, is used to convert solar energy into electrical energy. Solar cells are the basic elements of a solar module (also known as a solar panel). Silicon is by far the commonest of a variety of semiconductors from which solar cells are made. There are three main types of solar cells, which are distinguished by the type of crystal used in them. They are monocrystalline, polycrystalline, and amorphous
Solar Energy Systems are usually marketed in prices per
Watt Peak.

A 1 Kilowatt (1000 Watts) Peak System will generate nearly 1000 kilowatt hours (kWHrs) per year of energy in cloudy climates (e.g. Northern Europe, Canada, Northern Japan) and up to 2,000 kilowatt hours in sunny climates (e.g. the sunbelt States of USA, Brazil, Mediterranean Countries, Africa, India, Australia).

The advantage of Solar Energy Systems is that they can be configured to virtually any power load. The actually size of your Solar System is totally up to you!
