Solar Panels

Many homes today are equipped with solar panels placed on the roof. These panels collect thermal energy from the sun to generate hot water for the home. They are priced reasonably and are fairly easily to install.  However, some roofing companies can install the panels for you.

Most panels run on an efficiency rating of 40-60%.  One panel can heat a 15 gallon tank.  Two panels can heat between 30-35 gallons.  Three panels can heat 35-50 gallons.  Four panels can heat 50-70 gallons.

Solar panels:

• Have no moving parts
• Require no fueling
• Are constructed with crystalline silicon
• Last 20-25 years
• Cost about $4.30 per watt

The sun provides energy to these panels through thermonuclear explosions. Helium and hydrogen atoms bond together during these explosions and are released into space as radiation. Traveling at the speed of light, the atoms reach us and are converted into energy by solar panels.
