A small solar electric or photovoltaic (PV) system can be a reliable and pollution-free producer of electricity for your home or office. And they're becoming more affordable all the time. Small PV systems also provide a cost-effective power supply in locations where it is expensive or impossible to send electricity through conventional power lines.
Because PV technologies use both direct and scattered sunlight to create electricity, the solar resource across the United States is ample for small solar electric systems. However, the amount of power generated by a solar system at a particular site depends on how much of the sun's energy reaches it. Thus, PV systems, like all solar technologies, function most efficiently in the southwestern United States, which receives the greatest amount of solar energy.
You can also use PV technology to provide outdoor lighting.
To help evaluate whether a small solar electric system will work for you, you should consider the following:
· Your available solar resource — do you have clear and unobstructed access to sunlight for most or all of the day, throughout the year? · The system size — do you have a roof or area large enough to accommodate it? · The economics — is it worth the investment? · Local permits and covenants — are there any issues with installing a system?
