Solar Panel
Solar Panel
Solar panel is a cost-effective and environmentally friendly way to generate clean electricity for your home. Solar photovoltaic (PV) panels capture energy from sunlight and convert it into usable electricity, helping reduce reliance on traditional power sources.
Solar panel systems generate electricity during daylight hours and can power household appliances, lighting, and heating systems. Any unused energy can be stored in batteries or exported back to the grid, making solar power a smart long-term investment for both modern and retro homes.
Benefits of Solar Panel
