Sustainability and energy savings are becoming increasingly important in a world where measures to protect the planet are a must.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Legislation often mentions the need to switch to clean energy sources and, in order to get the public to switch to these, tax incentive programmes and economic aids are launched to make their installation much cheaper.<\/span><\/p>\n

A<\/span> solar power system<\/b> is a fantastic option for individuals and businesses, easy to install and maintain, affordable and effective.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Understanding solar panels<\/span><\/h2>\n

Solar panels <\/b>are devices that have the ability to convert sunlight into electricity. The technology used for this purpose consists of <\/span>photovoltaic cells<\/b>, made of semiconductor materials that generate direct current (DC) when sunlight hits them.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This energy is transformed from DC to AC and fed into the household installation to power appliances, lights and any other device that runs on electricity.<\/span><\/p>\n

A <\/span>solar power system<\/b> includes <\/span>solar panels<\/b>, an inverter and, sometimes, a battery. The place where solar panels are usually installed is on the roofs of houses and buildings, facing the sunniest orientation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A typical solar power system includes:<\/span><\/p>\n
