Some Advantages of Solar Energy

The fuel to power solar devices is sunshine and it’s free since our governments have yet to figure out a way to tax sunshine. The sun shines every day and will always be there. It is the most abundant source of energy available in the world and spills enough energy on the earth in 40 minutes to power every home on the globe. Little to no maintenance is required to keep a solar powered system functional. If you have a grid tied system then you don’t need a battery bank as a backup. Maintaining batteries is the biggest maintenance issue so if you use a hybrid system in tandem with a grid system you will have little maintenance. If you do have an off grid residential solar power system it is completely independent of the conventional power grid and will not be affected by grid power outages or rolling brownouts.
