Learn more about Solar Energy, from the power plant to your home.

A solar power plant is a type of large-scale electrical energy generating “factory” that uses a large number of solar (photovoltaic) panels capable of transforming sunlight into electrical energy. 

Energy is generated from a chemical reaction between sunlight and the panel material, which can convert solar energy into electricity.

This energy is distributed to cities via transmission lines. In addition to its large-scale application, the technology can also be applied in homes with the goal of saving on electricity bills.

What are the advantages of this technology? 

There are many benefits, from a longer lifespan and greater savings to increased property value in residential applications.

• Clean, non-polluting, renewable, and sustainable energy: Solar energy is one of the most sustainable forms of energy in the world; it is renewable and clean, since it emits no pollutants and does not use raw materials that are scarce in nature. Photovoltaic energy systems are also sustainable when it comes to disposal, as they can be recycled with an efficiency of up to 97%. Furthermore, in the case of power plants, there is no need to clear forested areas.
  
  
• Silent production: Photovoltaic energy also contributes to the reduction of noise pollution. Its operation is silent and discreet, avoiding the production of unpleasant noises.
  
  
• Very low maintenance requirement: The photovoltaic system has no moving parts, so there is almost no mechanical wear. Photovoltaic panels last more than 25 years with just a simple annual cleaning.
  
  
• Energy savings exceeding 95%: Solar power systems can last up to 25 years and pay for themselves in just 7. The savings can amount to as much as 95% of the total electricity bill, making this a very smart investment that also helps increase a property’s value. 
  
  
• Easy installation in homes: The photovoltaic system is very easy to install. Despite requiring qualified labor, your system will be assembled and operating in just one day.
  
  
• Possibility of installation in various places: Power plants don't need to be in the same place where the energy will be consumed, although that is also a possibility. With Distributed Generation, solar energy can be transferred to homes, commercial establishments, and industries even kilometers away.
