The Parliament building in New Dehli is going green by installing photo voltaic system to power Parliament House and its streets. But you dont need the sunshine of India to benefit from solar power in your home.
When you install solar panels on your roof, electricity is produced by sunlight through a process called solar photovoltaics. Photovoltaic cells are made of semi-conducting materials, so when any amount of sunlight strikes, it is converted into electricity.
Even if the sky is overcast, PV still produces electricity.This is because PV cells not only use direct sunlight, but also diffuse solar radiation, which is light that has been scattered by dust and water particles in the atmosphere.
Obviously the amount of useful electricity generated is proportional to the intensity of light energy which falls into the conversion area. However, you can still have an electricity supply even without the sun!
Shropshire Solar Power are Certificated Installers of the Microgeneration Certification Scheme (MCS) from the Department of Energy and Climate Change. We can help you decide whether a Photo Voltaic Solar Power System is the right system for you.
