Solar Panels Brisbane – What are these Panels exactly?

Solar panels make use of renewable energy from the sun, and are a clean and environmentally sound means of collecting solar energy.  They are made up of photovoltaic cells. Here at solar panels Brisbane, we’ve amassed a wealth of information relating to solar panels and the field of photovoltaic technology. You can learn how solar panels work, how they are manufactured, where to buy them, and how to set them up. If you are looking for information on solar panels and don’t know where to start, check out our solar panels section to learn more about how these photovoltaic cells are derived from silicon and what solar energy means to you.

The 2 Main Ways To Power Your Household With Solar Panel Technology

You will find essentially 2 ways we are able to benefit from the energy of the sunshine for our energy requirements.

Method 1 – Solar Thermal Panels (Solar Hot Water)

Solar Thermal uses the sun’s heat directly to heat up another medium – usually water – without having to generate any of that pesky electricity. Solar thermal is typically used in homes to boost the production of hot water. I use the word boost, because there will always be days when you don’t have enough sun to generate all your hot water needs, and the extra hot water will be heated by a separate gas or electric system.

You will have seen the ‘solar thermal panels’ on roofs they typically look like in the pictures above.  They often have a cylindrical hot water tank at the top that give them away.

These panels don’t generate any electricity. The panels contain rows of water-filled tubes which collect the sun’s heat directly. When the water is hot enough it is stored in the tank ready to flow out of your hot water taps or shower.

If, however, you want to use the sun to generate your own electricity, you are going to need a very different type of solar panel, namely a Solar Photovoltaic panel.

Method 2 - Solar Photovoltaic Panels (Solar PV)

Photovoltaic comes from the words photo (meaning light) and volt, a measurement of electricity. As it is a long phrase to use, it is usually abbreviated to PV or Solar PV. Solar PV panels are also commonly referred to as ‘solar cells’. Solar PV panels typically look ‘bluey-black’ and they are usually installed in groups of at least 4 at a time.
