Solar technology is one of the many ways in the sunlight and turn it into electricity. These
which you can reduce your ecological footprint panels are fitted onto a roof individually, but the
and cut costs on your utility bills at the same warmth of the sun helps to secure the panels to
time. Currently, many companies, factories and the roof making it weather-resistant. PV is

solar technology that produces electicity from
sunlight without the use of batteries or other
electrical devices. Photovoltaic panels or cells
Where to see practical applications of PV
Go see the Oakland University public demonstration project at 4000 Meadowbrook Drive.
The university installed a photovoltaic roof on one of their student apartment buildings. The
roof is split into four parts in order to face north, south, east and west to maximise exposure
to sunlight. It collects light from the sun and turns it into energy and is also aesthetically
pleasing to look at. The power that is not used by the photovoltaic apartment building is then
fed to other buildings on the campus. In this way, just one building with the photovoltaic
system is able to power several other buildings that have not installed this type of technology.
On the other hand, on cloudy days when the sunlight is not adequate to power the building,
the photovoltaic building is able to feed off the power from other buildings that it is
‘connected’ to. There is no electricity bill and never a shortage of hot water!

Or come and visit the Alternative Energy Commission (AEC) demonstration solar home. See a
home that is powered solely by solar energy and get information about solutions that will suit your
own needs.

How PV benefits you and the environment!

Using photovoltaics is good for the environment because this kind of energy doesn’t create
any pollution. Without any effort, the use of this system, as opposed to other forms of energy,
helps the environment. The cost of buying and installing a photovoltaic system depends on the
size of the house and the amount of available sunlight, and while the initial cost may seem high,
in the long run it will pay for itself by eliminating electricity bills. In addition, photovoltaic systems
have low maintenance costs.
