Solar is the solution

Utilization of solar energy, which is clean and inexhaustible, is a promising substitute for fossil fuels. Photovoltaic (PV) modules are already well established for residential use in many parts of the world. Large-scale home systems can lead to energy self-sufficiency, while smaller-scale systems can at minimum help reduce the consumption of fossil fuels, reduce monthly electric utility bills, and decrease negative impact on the planet.

Why go solar?

Because solar energy is clean and renewable. It not only lowers the cost of your electricity bills, but also reduces negative impact on the environment. What's more, photovoltaic (PV) modules have no moving or wearing parts, and require no maintenance other than an occasional cleaning.

What are the benefits of solar power?

PV technology brings many benefits. It's a quiet, clean source of energy, is reliable requiring minimal maintenance, and lasts for decades. It is not only competitive with other sources of energy in terms of costs, but directly contributes to reduction in greenhouse gases. What's more, it's an effective back-up power source in case of emergencies.

What are photovoltaics?

Photovoltaics (PV) are solar cell systems that convert sunlight directly into electricity. PV modules consist of semiconducting material that absorbs sunlight in a way that frees electrons from atoms. Electricity is produced as the electrons flow through the semiconducting material. A group of PV modules are typically combined in an array to generate electricity for a single structure. Large numbers can be combined to form a power plant.

How do PV modules convert sunlight into electricity?

It works by the photovoltaic phenomenon, in which semiconducting materials such as silicon produce an electric current when exposed to sunlight. Metal contacts on the top and bottom of the PV cell allow the current to be drawn off for external use.

Are there any effects other than producing electricity?

A heat shielding effect can be anticipated, with an associated reduction in air-conditioning load in the heat of summer.

Is the PV module a hot water producing system?

No. The Electric PV module produces electricity. Solar heating systems provide hot water for household use by using warmth from the sun to heat water in special roof panels. PV systems, in contrast, use energy from sunlight to directly generate electricity.

Why go Solar

Solar power is one of the most promising sources of energy for the 21st Century. It's a technology that has truly come of age. After more than 50 years of refinement and use in space as well as large-scale "Solar Farms" right here on Earth, solar power is ready for mainstream use like never before.

Going solar is something you should seriously consider for your residence or commercial facility. It's good for your monthly electric bills, and it's good for the planet.

• Characteristics of solar power:
• Clean: Solar power systems generate electricity with zero emission of CO2, SOx, Nox or other gases associated with global warming and acid rain.
• Renewable: Solar power systems can convert nature's sunlight into an unlimited supply of energy.
• Abundant: The amount of sunlight striking earth in any given hour contains light energy equivalent to the total world energy consumption for one year.

An indispensable source of energy

We are dedicated to promoting solar power systems as an indispensable source of clean energy for the future. Photovoltaic (PV) modules, which comprise the core of the technology, drew much attention in Kyoto, Japan in December 1997, at the Third Session of the Conference of the Parties to the U.N. Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP3), generally referred to as "The Kyoto Protocols". At the conference, developed nations agreed to take measures to reduce the production of greenhouse gases such as CO2. One of the most promising approaches is the adoption of solar power systems, which generate electricity with zero emission of CO2. We approach this commitment with the utmost sincerity.
