Renewable Solar Energy Systems generate free power!

Solar Electric Solutions for
Homes and Businesses Since 1996

Solar panels are a combination of many solar cells wired together and installed on rooftops, or adjoining land, to provide some or all of the electricity for a particular structure. These panels absorb the sun’s rays and by photovoltaic effect reaction produce electricity. Electrons around atoms are caused to move and this process creates DC (direct current) electric which is transferred to AC (alternating current) power.

With the spotlight on alternative energy sources, a lot of research and money has gone into finding better, renewable, and cheaper sources of energy to power of lives.

Island Solar Cell specializes in the design and installation of whole-house Photovoltaic (PV), or solar cell systems. We can inform you on the latest developments. Assist you in figuring out how you can put solar power to work for you. And, help you choose the most efficient and cost-effective system for you.

Photovoltaic Technology

A solar cell, or photovoltaic cell, is constructed or grown using silicon. The cells convert sunlight directly into electricity and will as long as the sun is shining. They have to be grouped together into solar panels to produce enough electricity for any useful purpose. Enough panels are needed depending on the amount of electricity to be generated. Panels are grouped into solar arrays for this purpose.

What Is Solar Energy?

How Does Solar Energy Work?

Solar energy has been used since the Greeks and Romans used passive solar energy in building design. It has always existed and been used in some form.

Solar power can be produced and harnessed in several ways. The simplest is converting the UV rays of the sun to heat energy which can be used for home heating, washing and even power generation.

Light energy transformed into electric power is probably the best alternative energy source. Even though we harness less than 10% of the sun’s rays that make it to earth, the efficiency with which it is transferred to electric power is around 94 to 95%.
