One must be very careful when calling Solar Energy Green Energy or Clean Energy because Solar Panels require a lot of energy to be manufactured and most of this comes from traditional coal fired plants. The process of Silicon production from Silica is quite energy intensive as the process requires a temperature of3000 F. It is expected that by2015 Solar Panels would be producing more energy than that which goes into manufacturing them.

In my opinion, installing solar panels on private homes can be a fantastic investment with numerous benefits. Solar panels allow homeowners to generate their own electricity, which can significantly reduce monthly utility bills. By harnessing the power of the sun, you can potentially offset a substantial portion, if not all, of your energy consumption. Over time, this can lead to substantial cost savings. With solar panels, you become less reliant on the traditional electricity grid. This provides a sense of energy independence and can be particularly beneficial during power outages or in areas with unreliable electricity supply. Adding a v inverter to the system can allow you to power certain low-voltage devices directly from the solar panels, enhancing your self-sufficiency.
