Sun is the primary source of energy on Earth and we are more or less aware of how sunlight can be converted directly into the electricity using solar panels. Today, electricity has almost become one of the basic needs of the people. Most of the machines are being powered by electricity that we use daily.
Do you know about solar panels? What are its components? Generally solar panel is composed of 6 components:
- The PV (photovoltaic) cell or solar cell that generates the electricity,
- The glass that covers and protects the solar cells,
- The frame that provides rigidity,
- The back-sheet where the solar cells are laid,
- The junction box where the wirings are enclosed and connected.
- The encapsulant which serves as adhesives.
The myth surrounds the generation of solar energy during winter is that it solar energy production drastically falls. This isn’t cent percent true. An average household array of photo voltaic panels can produce up to 3900 watts (3.9kw) of usable energy. In fact, the cold temperature will typically improve solar panel output. The white snow reflects light and helps in improving PV performance. Make sure the solar panels shouldn’t be covered with snow.
Solar panels Luton
Many clients do ask about the solar energy productivity in Luton. Do solar panels Luton receive enough sunlight to generate electricity? We at CHILTREN SOLAR regularly monitors the productivity of hundreds of solar panels Luton that we’ve installed and each installed site is properly designed and these high-quality systems provide great energy returns and reduced carbon footprint.
We’ have monitored solar panels in and around entire Buckinghamshire, including solar panels at Luton, that something gives us fair idea of energy production in a particular area. The amount of energy that strikes on the earth surface is called “solar irradiance” and is measured in power per unit of area. Luton daily receives an average of solar irradiance of 3.5 kWh of power per square meter. That means there’s no dearth of solar energy to convert into electricity.
