Here's another informative issue for all of us. The awareness and push to go green has been
greater than ever, thanks to the concentrated efforts of corporations,
organizations, and the media. From recycling to using earth-friendly materials
to efficient energy consumption, there are now myriad of ways to minimize one’s
carbon footprint and save money in the long run.
To do both, one of the more efficient and effective
ways is through the use of solar power technology, or photovoltaic panels also
called PVs. The said system collects energy from the sun to generate
electricity, which can then be used to power a portion of a home or office’s
electrical needs.
Solar energy reduces the amount of fossil fuel that is
burned, which subsequently reduces the pollutants and CO² that make it to the atmosphere. Depending on the type of system, a complete home or office set-up
normally powers select appliances such as lights, air-conditioners, and certain
electrical outlets.
Typically installed on rooftops, solar panels
collect DC power and send it to an inverter which then converts it into AC
(alternating current) power. The AC power goes from the inverter to the
electrical panel, where it now becomes ready to use. Once the solar system
produces more power than needed, the meter actually spins backwards. A home or
office is still, of course, connected to the utility grid so it can get as much
power as it needs outside of what the solar system produces.
Whether for a home or office, the solar system
you need must be customized in order to get the best possible performance,
which subsequently will bring about the best cost and energy savings as well.
Green Heat (GH), a locally-owned business engaged in the design, installation,
and maintenance of solar PV systems, has the right technology, expertise as
well as experience to do the job right. Green
Heat has been part of numerous large scale projects such as the ADB solar power
plant, the Rural Electrification of the Philippine government, and other
private installations.
Green Heat uses silicon-powered
technology: the world's most dependable solar technology. With over 40 years of
demonstrated field performance, silicon modules have continued to outlast and
outperform other solar technologies.
Since roofs have limited
space for solar modules, GreenHeat’s panels have higher module efficiencies.
This means each panel works better in absorbing energy. Moreover, GH’s panels
have “Enhanced weak light performance,” where the solar glass ensure that the
panels perform well under real world, low light conditions.
GH’s panels are also
low-maintenance since they have “self cleaning” technology where a
special layer in the high quality solar glass
of the modules causes water to run off more quickly, thereby enabling the glass
to clean itself of dust and dirt.
Solar PV panels are, of
course, just a part of the entire system. As the saying goes, “You’re only as
strong as your weakest link.” In solar PV technology, the rest of the system
has to be just as efficient and reliable; otherwise the best panels won’t give
you the ideal return of investment.
This is something that
Green Heat can do for its customers. By providing a turn-key service, Green
Heat provides clients a complete assessment of their solar energy requirements
during the proposal stage that cover system design and cost. Once the go signal
is given by the client, GH executes the design plan and turns over the system
after a series of tests. With a one-year after sales warranty, clients can be
assured that their solar PV set-up will be a reliable one.
So if you’re looking to
the future of energy, start today with solar PV technology. It’s an investment
that goes a long way in saving you money, and the environment.
