How does solar energy work?
Solar energy is created when sunlight, a powerful stream of electromagnetic radiation, passes through specially designed solar panels. These panels consist of photovoltaic cells that contain semiconductor materials, such as silicon, which have the ability to convert light energy into electricity through the photovoltaic effect. This remarkable process of photovoltaic conversion enables us to harness the sun's abundant energy and generate clean, renewable electricity.

What are the financial incentives associated with solar energy?
Utilizing solar energy can be a great way to save money on your energy bills. In addition, many states and local governments offer generous financial incentives such as tax credits, rebates, and reduced utility rates for those who choose to install solar panels. Make sure to check the applicable incentive programs in your area for more detailed information.
Are solar panels durable?
Yes, solar panels are designed to withstand a wide range of weather conditions and can last for many years with minimal maintenance and upkeep. In fact, most solar panel manufacturers offer warranties ranging from 25-30 years, which is a testament to the durability of their products.
