In the latest articles I explained how the solar roof collectors work, but the solar panels are just the beginning.
They only face the sunshine and absorb itīs energy with the copper absorber plates. To use the absorbed solar energy you will need to connect the roof solar panels to the other parts of the whole solar system.
First there are the heat
distribution pipes there. Usually they are produced of the quality steel, insulated from the outer environment to limit the vaporization.
The pipes carry the
heat-transporting liquid (must be antifreezer fluid, deinitely and chemically compatible with the material of the heat-distribution pip...
The solar roof shingles vs solar roof panels
The solar collectors can be delivered either as the solar roof shingles or the solar roof panels. The main difference is that the solar roofing shingles can be laid directly onto the roof as part of the roofing.
Usually, they are not the isolated shingles but some larger shingle segments that fit the shingling plan perfectly as both solar shingles and the standard roofing shingles are manufactured by the same roofing manufacturer.
The solar roofing panels are more universal as they can be placed on almost any roof. They consist of th solar panel itself and the fastening frame which is screwed to the roof in a st...
A perfect energy source
Sun is a perfect source of energy, hereīs why:
- itīs 5 billion years old, 150 million kilometres far from the Earth and still hot enough to burn your neck in couple of minutes. Sun, actually, is a
huge nuclear furnace where the hydrogenium changes into helium and itīs inner temperature exceeds 19 million Celsius grades, we just canīt stop it;
- it is
absolutely free. No government can make you pay for the solar energy (if you produce it yourself) and no consumption tax can be applied;
- it is inexhaustible. The delivery cannot bestopped by some transiting country like it is wit oil or gas. No embargo can be ...
