Седем предимства на използването на слънчева енергия в дома

The sun is one of the most reliable sources of renewable energy. All you need to generate electricity while the sun is shining is a good solar panel. Thanks to recent technological advances, today's solar panels are more efficient, durable and affordable. This explains why demand for solar energy has grown so much in recent years.
You can take advantage of renewable energy sources and generate free electricity for most of your basic appliances at home and at work. Here are a few reasons/benefits of investing in solar energy
1. It is environmentally friendly
As a renewable energy source, solar energy is more environmentally friendly than most other sources. Solar panels produce clean energy without producing greenhouse gases and do not pollute water.
The panels do not need water for cooling (unlike nuclear reactors) and operate silently. This makes them the cleanest way to generate energy without consuming water, releasing carbon dioxide or even making any noise. You can therefore use the panels in your home or business without ever having to worry about pollution.
2. Low to no energy bills
With panels installed to generate electricity, your electricity consumption from your supplier will be significantly reduced. It's a great choice if you care about your finances and the planet.
Sometimes solar panels generate more energy than is needed for the household. In this case, you can store the energy for later use in a physical or virtual battery or sell the surplus back to the grid.
3. Higher electricity production during peak hours
Most energy suppliers charge extra for energy consumed during peak hours. Peak hours are usually between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m., which means higher energy bills if you consume more during this time. Coincidentally, this is when solar panels produce electricity at their optimal level.
With solar panels installed that generate more energy than you need during the day, your energy bills will be even lower. You will only be dependent on the electricity grid during off-peak hours, or not at all if you have battery storage.
4. Solar energy is versatile
Solar energy is particularly useful in areas without access to electricity. It can therefore be used anywhere in the world to produce clean energy as long as the sun is shining. Given that millions of people have no access to electricity, solar energy is the ideal solution. In addition, solar panels are used in spacecraft and ships to produce free and unlimited energy.
5. No electricity loss during transmission
Approximately 5% of the electricity produced is lost during transmission and distribution. The greater the distance, the higher this percentage. However, there are no energy losses with solar energy. Solar panels are installed directly on site, which increases their efficiency and minimises transmission losses.
6. Increased grid security
The more solar transmission points are connected to the grid, the less likely power outages are in a given area. As more and more people switch to solar energy, the load on the grid is significantly reduced, which in turn reduces the risk of power outages and other failures.
7. Creates jobs
In addition to producing free energy, the solar industry has created thousands of jobs, from panel manufacturing to installation technicians. Investing in solar energy not only creates jobs, but also has a positive impact on the local community.
