Installers of Solar Panel Systems for Homes and Commercial Solar Panels
Upstate Solar Resources is dedicated to the delivery and solar power installation of cost-effective solar panel systems as energy alternatives to both residential and commercial clients in the South Carolina, Georgia, and North Carolina.
The primary source of solar energy is the photovoltaic panel. These solar panels vary in size and voltage from panels of 8-10 watts, used to recharge batteries in laptops, to panels capable of generating over 300 watts per hour. These solar panels are evolving daily as demand for more efficiency and technolgical innovations are announced all over the world. Originally these home solar panels converted 5-7% of sunlight to energy. Now efficiency is in excess of 20%, and several types of panels are being marketed for residential solar home kits. The actual cost of solar power cost per watt installed has dropped steadily from and average of 10 or 11 cents per kilowatt to 6 or 7 cents per kilowatt. The cost of solar home and commercial panel equipment should continue to drop as production increases.
Anyone interested in applying solar power energy alternatives would be well served by including a complete review of all energy conservation methods in both consumption and utilization patterns. Experience has shown that every dollar saved in energy conservation will - in the long run - reduce your solar investment by $5.
