We’ve all heard of solar panels and harnessing the power of the sun, but how does it actually work and how does it benefit you?

Solar panels for homes and businesses are made up of cells which absorb sunlight’s photons to make what is known as a photovoltaic effect. Basically what this means is that the sunlight is converted into electricity. The proper installation of solar panel kits means stringing them together and connecting them to your home through an inverter. What this enables you to do is use sunlight to power your home and also contribute to the grid of the electric company.

Providing your own electricity will save on your power bill and will also make you eligible for a credit or even a payment from the electric company for your contribution to their power supply. Many people are considering solar panel kits for their personal benefit more than out of concern for the environment.
