  • Home Solar Power: Doping Silicon to Improve Energy Production. (Part 10)
    Introducing impurities, called dopants, into the silicon making up the solar cell creates the one-way flow of electrons necessary to produce electricity more efficient. Two differently doped silicon wafers are layered together to create this flow.
  • Residential Solar Electricity: Leveraging the Photoelectric Effect (Part 9)
    Einstein was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics for his work on the photoelectric effect, not for his work on relativity. Little did one know that the same people who helped us calculate everything under the sun is also the same person helping to bring renewable solar energy to the masses.
  • Residential Solar Energy, Solar Cells Types, and the Growth of Silicon Sources (Part 7)
    We are now at the dawn of a home solar energy revolution. The solar power manufacturers invented and are beginning to manufacture new solar modules that do not use silicon at all. There are alternative materials using nano-technology that are and will continue to radically change the consumption and production of solar generated electricity.
  • Residential solar energy: How many kilowatts (kWs) do the PV panels produce?
    Think of your home energy or electricity consumption as a bucket of water and the amount of solar radiation as the time they need to fill that bucket. It is easier to understand how to size a residential solar energy system to meet your home usage needs with this in mind.
  • Suggestions to Qualify for a Residential Solar Rental System (Part 3)
    The economics of home solar power have changed. A new solar panel rental service is the first to give a homeowner the option to use solar energy without having to make a huge investment. Now, every American homeowner can decide to upgrade to solar if their home passes a solar suitability study.
  • How Home Solar Energy Units Operate. Moving to Greener Power. (Part 2)
    Becoming knowledgeable in the electrical technical terms is an important step when considering purchasing or renting a solar energy system for your home. You should feel comfortable talking with solar industry experts about your home solar options. In this article, we will dive into understanding the language of residential solar electric systems.
  • Understanding Residential Electricity and Solar Power (Part 1)
    This article provides a fundamental understanding of electricity terms needed to understand how solar photovoltaic (PV) technology works. It is not intended to not make you a solar energy expert. There will always be people with more information than you but that is a good thing. You can learn from them.
