Building Green Relationships

The sun is one of the best energy resources that nature provides. It has been glowing in the sky for billions of years and will be there for billions more. It gives us light, food, warmth, and life. Solar power is the easiest, lowest cost to maintain, and most long-lasting energy source available to humans at present.
What is Solar PV?
Solar photovoltaics, or solar PV, are solar cells made of silicon semiconductors that convert sunlight into direct-current (DC) electricity. Solar PV cells contain no moving parts, need no fuel, emit zero green house gas (GHG) emissions, are 100% silent, and are completely renewable. All they need to generate electricity is the gift from nature, the sun. They convert sunlight directly into electricity, which can be used for virtually any kind of application.
