Solar Cell Structure. A solar cell is an electronic device which directly converts sunlight into electricity. Light shining on the solar cell produces both a current and a voltage to generate electric power. This process requires firstly, a material in which the absorption of light raises an electron to a higher energy state, and secondly, the
READ MOREBuying a solar energy system makes you eligible for the Solar Investment Tax Credit, or ITC. In December 2020, Congress passed an extension of the ITC, which provides a 26% tax credit for systems installed in 2020-2022, and 22% for systems installed in 2023. The tax credit expires starting in 2024 unless Congress renews it. Learn more about the

READ MOREA photovoltaic (PV) cell, commonly called a solar cell, is a nonmechanical device that converts sunlight directly into electricity. Some PV cells can convert artificial light into electricity. Sunlight is composed of photons, or particles of solar energy. These photons contain varying amounts of energy that correspond to the different
READ MOREHow solar panels work: The photovoltaic effect explained. In a nutshell, solar panels generate electricity when photons (those particles of sunlight we discussed before) strike solar cells. The process is called the photovolatic effect. First discovered in 1839 by Edmond Becquerel, the photovoltaic effect is characteristic of certain materials

READ MOREA fully installed solar system typically costs $3 to $5 per watt before incentives like the 30% tax credit are applied. Using this measurement, 5,000 Watt solar system (5 kW) would have a gross cost between $15,00 and $25,000. The price per watt for larger and relatively straightforward projects are often within the $3-$4 range.
READ MOREIndustrial solar power systems consist of solar panels, also known as PV modules, which are mounted on rooftops, open fields, or other suitable areas exposed to sunlight. These panels are made up of multiple solar cells that contain silicon, which can convert sunlight into electricity through the photovoltaic effect.
