How Does a Solar Panel System Work?
Solar panels harness the abundant energy of the sun and efficiently convert it into electricity for residential and commercial use. Our sun, a natural nuclear reactor, emits photons, which are tiny packets of energy. These photons travel approximately 149.6 million kilometres from the sun to Earth in just around 8.5 minutes. Incredibly, within each hour, the number of photons that reach our planet has the potential to generate enough solar energy to meet global energy requirements for an entire year. While solar energy production is not constant, it aligns with the periods of highest demand. Daytime and hot sunny periods, when electricity usage peaks, are precisely when solar panels generate electricity most effectively. The Isle of Wight boasts one of the highest numbers of sunlight hours in the UK, making it an ideal location for harnessing solar power, particularly during these peak times. By putting the power of the sun to work, we can tap into this remarkable resource and contribute to meeting our energy needs sustainably.
