What are Solar Panels in Woodbine Iowa?
The sun, our life providing gigantic ball of gas 93 million miles from earth. Every day it releases a little more than 1 yottawatt of energy (enough to power about 2.8 quadrillion light bulbs) evenly on the earth as it spins. Trees naturally capture this energy, but human beings rely on the amazing technology located in solar photovoltaic systems, more commonly known as solar panel systems, or solar array. Every solar panel is composed of silicon solar cells grouped together into solar modules, which make up the solar array. Each array weighs about 40 pounds and are about 17.5 square feet (64" x 39"). The sunlight shining on these solar arrays is made of photons, and as sunlight passes through the solar panels the photons excite electrons in a process known as the photoelectric effect. The countless electrons create electrical current which then gets routed to your home through the wired connections. As of 2022 the most efficient solar panels convert around 25% of the solar energy into useable electricity. The solar panels/solar array consists of the following materials and parts:
Silicon cells--Act as a semiconductor (highly controllable part of an electric circuit) that converts sunlight into electrical energy via the photoelectric effect
Aluminum metal frames--Protects against dangerous weather and mounts the solar panels in their desired location
Glass sheet--Highly durable 5-7mm thick glass the protects the silicon cells from weather and physical damage
12V wire--A standard wire element that regulates the energy transfer and ensures a sustainable flow of electricity
Bus wires--Connect the solar cells together and carries the electrical current to the charge controller, battery, and inverter
WOODBINE IOWA SOLAR PANEL SYSTEM COMPONENTS
Below are the vital components that transport the electricity from the solar panels/solar array to your Woodbine Iowa home or business appliances and electrical outlets.
CHARGE CONTROLLER
Regulates the amount of electricity that flows from the solar panels into the battery. This prevents the battery from overcharging, but also monitors the level of energy to keep the battery fully charged. At night, when the solar panels are not sending energy, the charge controller allows the battery to release stored electrical energy as required by your home or business electrical system.
BATTERY
Solar batteries allow for the storage of solar photovoltaic energy, so you can use it to power your home or business at night or when weather elements keep sunlight from reaching PV panels. Batteries are useful now only for powering off-grid homes and businesses, but also play an increasingly important role for electrical utilities. As utility customers feed solar energy back into the grid, batteries can store it so it can be returned to customers at a later time. This process helps modernize and stabilize the Iowa and United States electrical grid.
INVERTER
Inverters are used to convert the direct current (DC) electricity generated by solar panels into alternating current (AC) electricity, which we use for most appliances in our homes and businesses. Photovoltaic solar panel systems either have one inverter that converts the electricity generated by the entire solar array, or microinverters which attach to each individual solar module. Single inverters are generally less expensive, but microinverters allow for independent operation of each panel, which is useful if some solar panels are shaded or covered due to weather elements, for example.
