It is a widely known fact that going solar is the best way to become energy independent and reduce electricity bills. However, in addition to the financial side, it also has huge benefits for our planet. Switching to solar energy on a large scale would have a profound positive environmental impact and we all can be a part of it.

The key advantages of solar energy on the environment are:

A solar inverter is one of the most important elements of a solar system. As solar panels produce direct current (DC) electricity that cannot be consumed by homes, an inverter comes into play. It converts DC electricity into alternating current (AC), the electricity that can be fed into your home to operate your appliances.

Choosing the right orientation of a solar energy system is as important as choosing the type of panels you choose. In this article, we discuss the main factors you need to know when deciding the best direction for your solar panels.

Solar panels become less effective as time passes by. There are various factors that affect the degradation speed and rate of solar panels. Some of them are related to manufacturing while others are connected to weather, installation, or maintenance of the solar system.
