Solar system definition and its advantages:
-
solar panels which convert the sun’s heat into usable electricity.
-
Benefits of
Solar System?
-
Solar energy means you are utilizing zero emission electricity and shrinking your carbon footprints. If you have electric car, you can even power your commute with the sun instead of traditional fossil fuels.
-
Solar.
-
solar system could be installed where the sun’s average hours are above 4.
-
The commercial
solar power plants construction is emerging market and the investors can earn billions of dollars in revenues.
Lifespan of
-
Life of
solar panels.
solar panels, at a very slow rate, produce less electricity as they age. This process is called degradation.
The life guarantees may differ depending upon the quality of manufacturing and operating environment. The
Degradation of
The lowest degradation rate is 80% while the average degradation rate is considered as 0.50% per year. The following table displays the degradation rate of different quality panels.
Panel type |
Degradation rate |
Reduction over 25 years |
Amount of original output after 25 years |
Tier 1 |
0.30% |
6.96% |
93.04% |
Tier 2 |
0.50% |
11.33% |
88.67% |
Tier 3 |

Usually, the Tier 1’s quality panel’s performance deteriorates at the rate of 0.3% annually. The above table reveals that
