WHY CHOOSE SOLAR ENERGY?

Nowadays, we cannot live without energy. However, the use of traditional energy like coal, oil, and natural gas will lead to many environmental problems, such as air pollution, global warming, etc. In addition, once these traditional energy sources are used up, we will face serious survival problems in our energy-hungry world. As a result, renewable energy, especially solar energy, has become a very popular choice. 

What is Solar Energy?

Solar energy is one of the most popular type of renewable energy sources. It is a heat radiation energy that is generated by the sun. Solar panels are made of semiconductor materials, such as silicon, which can generate electricity by absorbing the solar energy. 

How does Solar Energy Develop?

1880s: The photoelectric phenomenon was discovered by German physicist Hertz

1930s: Langer first proposed to use "photovoltaic effect" to make "solar cell", so as to turn solar energy into electric energy

1950s: Silicon solar cells were commercially produced

1970s: Industrial developed countries strengthened their support for the development of solar energy and other renewable energy technologies

2000s: DIY solar panels became popular

2010s Flexible solar panels entered the market

What is an Off-grid Solar System?

An off-grid solar system mainly includes four components: solar panels, charge controllers, inverters and batteries.

Here is an example of a simple off-grid solar system. This Newpowa 400W Solar Kit includes two 200W solar panels, one 30A MPPT charge controller with LCD display, as well as the accessories like mount sets, cables, and connections. 

With an inverter and battery, you now have a complete off-grid system for solar application:

• Residential: Rooftop solar, RV, Marine, etc.
• Industrial: Traffic signs, disaster relief, water pumping, etc. 

Why do We Use an Off-grid Solar System?

Affordable

The price for solar has dropped significantly over the years and has reached at a stable level. Plus, unlike gas generator, solar energy is an one-time investment which will cost nothing to operate once purchased. 

Harmless

The development and utilization of solar energy will not pollute the environment. It is one of the cleanest energy sources. It is extremely valuable with today's increasingly serious environmental pollution.

Adventure Friendly & Self-reliant

No matter if you want to enjoy the nature by driving your RV deep into the woods, or having a remote cabin for vacations, having a solar system means you have your own power source when you are far away from the grid. 

Sustainable & Universal

With so much hydrogen left, the sun is continuing to shine for a long, long time. The wide coverage of the sunshine means, no matter you are at any corner of the Earth, you will get electricity as long as there is sunshine. 

In short

As a clean, affordable and sustainable power source, solar energy is a great fortune for us all. No matter it is for environmental, recreational, financial or industrial purposes, solar energy is a great field to invest for anyone.
