Two Types Of Solar Power Panels
February 28, 2009 on 5:02 pm | By admin | In HomeMost people see a solar panel on a rooftop and assume that it is there to generate electricity but the truth is that there are two entirely different types of solar power products readily available on the market. One uses photoactive cells to generate electricity. The second is entirely different in design and actually uses sunlight to heat water directly. Essentially, this is a reverse engineered version of the radiators in your home. Sunlight heats the water, which then begins to flow through the pipes. Whilst this movement can be used to generate electricity, these types of panels are most commonly used to simply generate hot water for domestic uses.
