Solar electric system generates power from the sunlight. Photovoltaic abbreviated as PV directly converts sunlight into electricity. It utilizes sunlight with no moving parts; hence operating costs are very low and environment friendly. Its feature of modularity allows developing a solar system as per need of utility consumers.

Hot water systems are either active or passive. But the passive systems have two types of systems, ICS systems and thermo siphon systems. Both these systems work differently and have distinctive functioning criteria, but ICS systems are comparatively cheaper and require very little efforts for the maintenance.

Device which use solar energy to run are great inventions. Many of them are cheap and provide several advantages. The case of solar water heaters is a little different. There are certainly advantages associated with them but there are some disadvantages which you should keep in mind before purchasing one.

Storage of solar power presents many problems which need to be addressed taking into account the requirements before selecting the type of solar power technology. The problems can lead to operational and financial headaches.
