Thanks to the photovoltaic effect photovoltaic panels can generate electricity that will later go through transformers and other external elements.
Active solar panels.
They offer a return well above the long term average return from both the share market and also property investment.
The most common example of course is the thousands of rooftop solar panels in neighborhoods across the country taking sunlight and processing it into electricity.
Active solar on the other hand is any technology that processes that sunlight or its properties ie its heat into something else.
In 2020 they also remain subsidized by the 26 federal tax credit and the net metering law making them an excellent investment.
An active solar energy system may be used for any of the following.
If the solar system cannot provide adequate space heating an auxiliary or back up system provides the additional heat.
Photovoltaic solar energy is clearly an active solar energy system.
Active solar energy systems use the same principles as passive systems except that they use a fluid such as water to absorb the heat.
Solar panels have fallen in price by more than 80 in the last ten years.
