How It Works

5 BENEFITS OF SOLAR PANELS

-

1 SUSTAINABL­E ENERGY

Energy from fossil fuels is limited to the finite amount of resources on Earth, but solar energy can continue for as long as the Sun keeps shining.

2 MINIMAL MAINTENANC­E

Solar panels should only require cleaning occasional­ly. As the technology has minimal moving parts, they can last for long periods without breaking down.

3 EXTRA ENERGY STORAGE

Any extra solar electricit­y generated that isn’t used can be exported to the local electricit­y company to be used later.

4 OFF THE GRID

For extremely remote locations without access to electrical grids, solar panels are a useful solution. As long as there is sunlight, electricit­y can be produced right there at the site.

5 REDUCED EMISSIONS

Solar panels produce energy without releasing as many harmful emissions. The average solar panel will save over 900 kilograms of carbon dioxide from being released each year.
