What’s So Special About PV?

Photovoltiacs reduce the dependence on current energy supplies while, at the same time, reducing your carbon  footprint.

Photovoltaic power  is a completely clean, inexhaustible source of electricity and the low maintenance required by photovoltaic cells extends their merits far beyond those of traditional  flat-plate solar  thermal collectors

With an   annual failure rate of under 1 in 10,000, photovoltaic cells are so durable that it’s not unreasonable to leave an untended panel in the middle of the desert and expect it to operate for   decades

The fuel for photovoltaics, sunlight, is practically infinite, free, and easily accessible. In fact, the earth receives enough energy from the sun in one hour to fulfill the global energy demand for one year.

Photovoltaic systems are versatile also in the sense that they can be stand-alone, local grid tied, central   grid-connected or even hybrid (in conjunction with other technologies like wind or hydro) systems.

Modern solar electric power-generation systems such as photovoltaics (or PV) are some of the most elegant and environmentally benign energy systems ever invented. But do people actually use them? The answer is yes — and not just in space. PV systems can also be found in the most isolated spots on Earth as well as in the heart of some of our largest cities. And every place in between.

Today’s PV systems are used to generate electricity to pump water, light up the night, activate switches, charge batteries, supply power to the utility grid, and much more. PV has so many uses today that it probably already touches your life in some way. You might have noticed the small PV systems attached to emergency telephones along the highways. But PV provides power in many ways we can’t see — for all kinds of satellites in space, including those that keep modern communication systems “up and running.”

Photovoltaic systems work best when we need energy the most, i.e. during peak energy demand period of the day. This reduces infrastructure costs for fossil-based generation plants as they have to be designed to meet peak demands, while they run to meet that demand only for a short period of time.

The Green Solutions Consulting Services Group is comprised of a team of individuals with extensive background in the solar energy industry. Leveraging our team’s collective years in this business, we have been able to establish relationships with many of the most respected photovoltaic panel manufacturers in the world. From these relationships we have developed a network of world-class suppliers, installers and other industry professionals. In addition to our network, we have a commitment to provide our clients with the best solar products available. To do this, we actively stay abreast of latest R&D work being conducted in our field and work with only the most recent and proven technologies. 

Renewable and carbon-free, solar energy offers a solution to two of mankind’s biggest challenges over the next 50 years: producing enough energy to keep pace with economic development and population growth, and protecting the environment from the dangers of global warming. By 2100, solar energy is expected contribute to 80% of total energy production as the world’s future energy demand cannot be met by fossil fuels.

Solar Power Provides Numerous Other Benefits

• Solar generation provides a supply of electricity that closely matches peak electricity demand, reducing the need for the most expensive utility electricity generation

• Solar panels require no fuel and minimal maintenance over their lifetime, which can be 25 years or more

• Solar panels are quiet, clean and unobtrusive sources of energy

• Distributed solar power generation reduces the strain on existing electricity transmission and distribution infrastructure

• Solar energy is economically competitive in off-grid applications in regions such as small islands, ocean vessels or rural communities where no other source of energy is abundant

• Protecting the environment with solar energy production can also result in cost saving for the end customer, as electric utility bills can often be significantly reduced or eliminated depending on the size of the installation

Photovoltaic solar cells are silent and non-polluting. As they have no moving parts, require little maintenance, and have a long lifetime. Compared to other renewable sources they also possess many advantages over wind and water power which rely on turbines that contribute to noise pollution expensive and require constant maintenance.  Rooftop power is an efficient method of supplying energy to growing communities. More cells can be added to homes and businesses as the demand grows.
