Solar energy

When people hear the word solar energy, a large area of black panels covering a meadow usually comes to mind. Contrary to popular belief, a common household’s energy requirements can be fully met by a few panels mounted on the roof. One can dispel the notion of having to clear a large area for an extensive and bulky solar energy providing system to provide their electrical needs.
What’s more, effective passive designs in capturing solar energy such as strategic window placing, advantageous landscape orientation, correct insulation, and conductive materials used in the system can help in providing more than the demands of the household.
