Uses of Solar Energy for Residential Purposes

Uses of Solar Energy for Residential Purposes Today's homes have vast energy requirements, whether for heating, cooling, lighting or another purpose. All these require electricity or energy. The most common use of Solar Energy in residential houses is for the purpose of heating water. A solar panel can convert sunlight into heat. The bottom of solar panels is black so that they can absorb as much heat as possible. A glass-covered water pipe then coils up along the side of the solar panel. When it is sunny, the water in the pipe is heated and this hot water can then be stored in a tank underneath the house or somewhere else out of sight. Another major and more common use for Solar Energy is the conversion of sunlight into electricity. Solar cells convert sunlight into electricity. These cells are usually made out of silicon which is common material found in sand. Electrons from silicon atoms are released when sunlight hits a solar cell, and these electrons flow away. Since electricity is actually the flow of electrons from one place to another, each solar cell produces a small amount of current or electricity.

Our Heat pumps have a digital controller allows you to control or adjust the temperature with the touch of a button.

Its simple reliable and easy to control.

The new programmable controller features a digital display that not only controls temperature, but also tells you the actual temperature of your pool or spa water.
