   Solar electric systems are commonly referred to as photovoltaic systems, “PV” for short. The photovoltaic effect (etymology: “photo” from the Greek meaning light; “voltaic” meaning voltage or electric current) is the ability of some materials (such as PV cells) to convert light energy from the sun into electricity. The PV cells are made up slices of silicon placed under a thin slice of glass. As photons from sunlight beat down onto the PV cells, they excite electrons in the silicon. Small wires on the silicon catch these electrons, and when joined together in a circuit an electric current is created.

   Did you know that the costs of producing solar power by individuals are becoming less expensive? If we can get where we (as a people) use more solar and wind power we can use less of fossil fuels such as diesel or coal. That is a win-win situation for the whole world. Hopefully you are one of those smart individuals who can make the homemade or do-it-yourself solar panels. I really wish I could. Whatever you do just remember to take advantage of all the rebates and incentives if you decide to add solar power.
