I’ve had many clients as me if solar power is really energy efficient?

Yes, it is. Solar power is one of the most environmentally friendly sources of energy. The sun provides us with all the energy we need to live our lives. All we have to do is harness that energy and convert it into something usable. Solar power is clean and free and will never run out.  That is a truly efficient power source.

Of course, you will have to maintain your system and replace worn parts – but, with more-and-more companies entering the solar power space there is an improvement in quality of batteries and panels.  It is also becoming more economical to add solar power to your home.

So, how much energy does the sun provide?

The sun provides us with about 2,000 watts per square meter. This means that a square meter of the earth receives about 4,000 kilowatts of energy from the sun. This energy is provided in the form of sunlight. We can use this energy to power our homes, our cars, and even our appliances.

How do we use solar power?

Solar power is not new technology. It has been used for thousands of years by people around the world. However, in the last 50 years or so, technology has advanced to the point where we can now produce solar power at a reasonable cost.

We can now buy solar panels that are inexpensive and easy to install. These panels are placed on rooftops and other surfaces where they can capture the sun’s rays. When the sun shines on these panels, they produce electricity which is then fed into the electrical grid.

Where can I find solar panels that are inexpensive?

You can find them online or in your local hardware store. They can be purchased in many different sizes and shapes. The size of the panel you purchase will depend on how much electricity you need. For example, if you need only a few hundred watts of power, a small panel may be sufficient. If you need more power, you may want to purchase a larger panel.

What is the best solar generator?

The simple answer is … the best solar generator is the one that is right for you.  As I mentioned earlier, the quality of generators is getting better and better.  There are new developments that improve the overall functionality of your solar power install.  And don’t just settle on the cheapest model  or even the one that has flashy marketing behind it.  Do your research to find the equipment that works best for you and what you are wanting to achieve.  

There are many different types of generators on the market today. You should research each type before making a decision. Be sure to look for reviews of each model. If you don’t know where to begin, ask friends and family who own solar generators. They will be happy to help you choose the right one.
