How Do Solar Panels Work ?
There
are two main types of solar panel, one type heats water and the other
type produces electricity. Both types of solar panels are increasingly popular for
domestic, industrial and commercial applications.
Solar water heating
panels are also called solar
'thermal' panels or solar 'collectors'. This type of solar panel uses direct & indirect energy from the sun to heat water
in a very simple and efficient process.
Photovoltaic solar panels produce electricity. Solar electric panels
are also called solar 'pv' panels or solar 'modules'. This type of
solar panel has no moving parts and produces current
when exposed to high levels of light.
