Home Solar Energy
The concept of home solar system is though not novel these days; still many people fear to adopt it. People are worried from the electricity turmoil, increased environmental pollution and exhaustion of fossil fuels and want to have a substitute for all these; but at the same times, they are not ready to adapt to this innovative technology of home solar energy.
In this article I will try to throw some light on the reasons as to why solar energy is feasible for us? And why we must go for this technology? Besides this I will also discuss certain myths that are mainly causing confusion in the mind of many people regarding the adoption of home solar energy.
The very first advantage of the home solar system is its “green affect”. Solar energy is the direct opposite of fossil fuel burning. Not only your home remains safe from the harmful effects of pollution caused by traditional methods, also you can contribute towards making your ambiance green. With the installation of solar energy, home becomes optimized. Thus in days to come without any obstruction, you can benefit from this unlimited source of energy. However, the very first fear is the initial cost of investment that is incurred. It is rumored that the entire process is so expensive that it takes almost 30 odd years to recover the amount invested in the project. On the other hand, if households make their own solar panel or solar cell, their cost is rather saved.
Another assumption is regarding home roofs. People have this misconception that by placing solar system on their roofs, the sunlight will not reach their home and will be blocked by the solar panels. They fail to understand that solar cells are actually additional protective layer residing on their roofs.
The point which I am going to mention here is very devastating and if any one starts believing in that, he may not go for home solar system ever during his entire life. People fear the weight of the solar system is too much and placing them on the roof top may damage the roof and ultimately it may cave in. however the truth is that solar cells and solar panels are made up of either Silicon, glass or aluminum and their weight is negligible when compared with the roof’s weight.
Then comes the maintenance part. Many overestimate facts and figures related with the solar system. They fail to understand that huge satellite work on the same principle and they are very easy to manage. Finally the home solar system will disturb the roof of the home, it may destroy it. On the other hand photovoltaic cells tend to protect the roof from the direct sun rays.
