Is it a Good Idea to Install Solar Panels and a Wind Turbine Generator?
Many people are considering switching their homes from a conventional electrical systems to an alternative or “green” energy system. The two main types of systems people are considering are: A) the solar panel array and B) the wind turbine generator. The Solar Panel Array: The solar panel array takes photo voltaic (PV) cells and connects many of them together into what is known as a solar panel. A PV cell is able to convert light energy into direct current (DC) electric energy. By linking a series of solar panels together into a “solar panel array”, a great deal of electricity can be made. If enough of these solar panels are linked together into a solar array, enough electricity can be made to power a house. This DC current is often converted to Alternating current (AC). The reason for this is that most homes and home appliances operate on AC current, which is the type of electricity supplied by the utility companies. The Wind Turbine Generator: A wind turbine generator is really just
