Why Are Solar Panels Sustainable

In general solar panels are extremely durable.

Why are solar panels sustainable.

This flow of electrons. After the initial energy payback period solar panels generate carbon free energy without consuming any for 20 to 25 years with proper maintenance and cleaning of the panels. Most manufacturers test their panels to confirm that they can withstand high winds and heavy snow loads and many solar panels are specifically. The essence of sustainability.

When light hits the top semi conductor layer a portion of the energy is absorbed freeing electrons from the negative layer to flow through an external circuit and back in to the positive layer. While yes solar energy itself is sustainable harnessing that energy is not. The sun provides as much energy. Using photovoltaic pv technology we can convert that solar energy directly into electricity without causing harm to the environment.

Minor unsustainable aspects of solar. Solar panels also known as photovoltaics pv are made of at least two layers of semi conductor materials. This can help solve today s energy challenges. One layer has a positive charge and the other has a negative charge.

Sunpower is proud to be the winner of the first annual sustainability award from pv magazine we strive to continue to produce panels as clean as the energy they produce. The leader in solar sustainability.
