The technology that makes clean energy possible is changing rapidly.

Advances are being made in solar panel efficiency and inverter technology on a daily basis, and that sometimes makes it tricky to know what everything does, and so which is the best equipment to select for your system.

The Basics

Feel free to put on a white coat and pick up a clipboard as we explain the magic of solar electricity!!!

Solar cells convert sunlight into electricity by being in the sun! Solar cells are made of some kind of semiconducting material such as silicon. When sunlight is absorbed by these materials, the incoming solar energy whacks electrons loose from their silicon atoms. These electrons love the freedom of being whacked by the sun so much that they run around the material and produce electricity. This process of converting sunlight, more specifically photons, into electricity or voltage is called the photovoltaic effect. So cells are sometimes called PV cells.

Simple really, isn't it?

Hanna Electrical do not wear white coats and carry clipboards, but we are confident of the equipment that we supply and install.
