Photovoltaic systems, which convert solar radiation into electricity, are considered ideal energy conversion systems because they use the planet’s most readily available energy source (the sun) to generate electricity, the most useful form of energy. Solar energy is clean, inexhaustible, gentle and renewable.
Solar radiation is not controlled by anyone and is an inexhaustible domestic energy resource that provides independence, predictability and security in energy supply. Photovoltaic systems give consumers complete control and immediate access to information about the energy produced. This makes them more mindful of how they consume energy and thus helps promote its rational use and conservation.
Since solar electricity is produced and consumed locally, significant losses in electricity transmission and distribution are avoided, resulting in energy savings of 10% compared with conventional electricity supplied through the grid.
Solar photovoltaic systems operate quietly, are reliable and have a long lifespan. They can be expanded to meet changing needs, and the energy they produce can be stored (in the grid or in batteries). They require minimal maintenance.
