Some Interesting Facts From Colorado Solar Panel Installers

Solar panels are made up of photovoltaic cells, typically of crystalline silicon, that convert sunlight into electricity. Key components include solar cells, tempered glass, a back sheet, and an aluminum frame, all of which protect and support the panel. An inverter then converts the generated direct current (DC) into alternating current (AC) for home use. The article also touches on net metering, where excess energy can be sent back to the grid. .

  1. Some Interesting Facts From Colorado Solar Panel Installers While solar panels are an everyday sight, some people still don’t quite understand what they are and how they work. Let Colorado solar panel installers tell you some interesting facts about solar panels:

  2. //SLIDESGO ’22 Solar panels are composed of numerous photovoltaic cells, typically made from crystalline silicon. These cells convert sunlight into electricity through the photovoltaic effect. When sunlight strikes the cells, it excites electrons within the material, generating a flow of direct current (DC) electricity The key solar panel’s components include solar cells, glass, encapsulate, a backsheet and a frame.

  3. There are three main types of crystalline silicon cells used in solar panels: monocrystalline, polycrystalline, and thin-film. The top surface of a solar panel is covered with tempered glass. It serves as a shield and protects cells from rain, dust, and debris, while also allowing sunlight to pass through. Heating and rapid cooling tempers the glass, making it stronger and more resistant to impacts. The backsheet is the layer that seals the backside of the solar cells, protecting them from moisture and other environmental elements. Backsheets are typically made of polymers such as Polyethylene terephthalate (PET), Polyvinyl fluoride (PVF), Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) and Polyamide (PA). The solar panel frame provides structural support and protection to the entire assembly. Frames are typically made from aluminium due to its lightweight, corrosion resistance, and strength. The frame not only holds all the components together but also provides a mounting structure for installation on rooftops or ground-mounted systems.

  4. An inverter converts DC into alternating current (AC), which is the type of electricity used by our home. An inverter also maximizes the output of a solar system, monitors the production and interacts with the grid. ● Net metering – With a grid-tie solar system, the grid becomes your battery. This means that you can pull energy from the grid when panels don’t produce enough or pump extras into it. It’s called net metering. ●

  5. If you’re considering solar panels for your home, it’s important to hire professional Colorado solar panel installers as it’s a complex process, and if not done correctly, it can damage your equipment and void your warranty. The Solar Revolution has the experience and expertise to install your solar energy system correctly and safely. Contact us.
