Solar Energy Future And Surpassing Coal And Nuclear Power
Solar Energy is growing, but the United State electrical power foundation has been built on coal and natural gas. It will take decades to replace this infrastructure with solar energy. As demand for residential solar and clean energy increases, coupled with society taking note that our supply of natural gas is dwindling, existing energy producers will shift to solar energy and other renewable energy sources. Fossil-based energy damages the environment, and nuclear energy creates hazardous waste. If we believe the environmental and health costs of fossil-fuels and nuclear energy are as harmful as scientists say, alternatives such as solar energy makes sense today and tomorrow.
Solar energy can be blended into virtually every conceivable form for commercial locations. You will find solar panels being used outdoors for security lighting, parking lot structures and bus shelters, while generating solar power. Inside, solar energy is used to offset and operate all major energy users such as, lights, cooling systems, and appliances. Solar energy systems can be blended easily into traditional and nontraditional businesses as long as there is sufficient access to light for the solar panels.
Solar panels can produce energy when not connected to the utility if you have battery storage for excess solar energy. This type of system is popular for residential and commercial solar energy systems where a vital backup power supply is required in the case of hospitals, commercial refrigeration of products, municipal water pumps and movement, street lighting, and those who live in areas where power is often interrupted because of severe weather.
Solar panels with a battery can produce enough excess energy that if stored correctly can power a residential or commercial building entirely for a couple days, but not much longer. When solar power systems are connected to the utility, they are referred to as “grid-tied,” these solar energy systems allow you to decide how much of your household electricity you want to obtain from the sun without the battery. With a grid-tied system, you produce as much solar energy as you can during the day, and then you receive whatever else you need from your local utility at night. However, battery systems add several thousand to the overall solar energy systems cost, and are less efficient than grid-tie only systems in sending solar energy back to the utility in solar buyback situations.
