What is a solar photovoltaic system?

PV systems have been around since the 1990s and have been increasing in popularity as an alternative source. Solar photovoltaic systems use the sun’s energy to convert solar radiation into electricity. They consist of one or more components such as an inverter, a controller, a mounting system, or batteries. PV systems can be used as stand-alone applications or grid connected systems, and their size varies from rooftop systems to large-scale generation plants, depending on how much electricity is needed and how  much space is
available for installation.

Solar energy and PV systems

Solar power is a clean, renewable energy source that can be used to generate electricity. It’s an abundant and inexhaustible resource because it comes from the sun. The sunlight that strikes the earth’s surface is enough to power all human energy needs for an entire year. In just one hour! We have so much energy at our fingertips. Sunergy has turned it into a profit center.
