Solar roofing is now available and affordable. Sun worshippers rejoice! New roof and solar panels‚ known in scientific circles as photovoltaic shingles‚ let you incorporate solar technology right into your roof. Reroofing with these shingles is an excellent way to show some love to the planet and your budget. Let’s take a look at how it all works. The Beginning Once upon a time‚ solar roof panels were cumbersome and expensive. Large arrays had to be bolted onto rooftops or installed in large fields

Solar Energy is one of the many renewable sources that is produced by the sun in the form of light and heat. It is one of the most important non-conventional sources of energy due to the fact that its free and we have plenty of it. Humans have been using it since ancient times. Solar energy can be use two ways‚ we can convert it into heat energy or it can converted into electricity. It has had a rapid growth in recent years‚ accounting for less than one percent of electricity used in the United States
