Photovoltaic panels convert light energy from solar cells directly into DC power. The word "photovoltaic" comes from the word "photo", meaning light, "V", from Alessandro Volta, a pioneer in the study of electricity. Therefore, the "photovoltaic" literally means "light - electricity."
"Off-grid" or independent, solar photovoltaic system is not connected to the grid, and often rely on battery storage power generated by the solar system. "Grid" solar photovoltaic systems connected to the grid, allowing you to use electricity at night or when the sun do not shine. When your solar panels produce more electricity than you use, the electricity can flow back into the grid, if you have an active program of net metering program. This allows you to rotate the credit meter backwards.
Montana between the size of most residential kilowatt photovoltaic system 1 and 5. The more you save energy at home, you need a small renewable energy systems, as well as lower costs. Therefore, investing in renewable energy systems before, focusing on protection! Check out our resource conservation.
Costs range typical residential photovoltaic systems from $ 10,000 to $ 20,000, including installation. However, due to the incentives and tax breaks, you can up to 50%, in order to reduce the cost of the system.
