Solar Panels and Green Technology Trending High in Future

“Energy Conservation is the Foundation of Energy Independence”- Tom Allen

Solar-powered homes were a rarity a decade ago but in more recent time the demand for Solar panels on house rooftops have hit high in the market due to rising government concerns on global climatic changes. The government of Pakistan is planning to incorporate special tax incentives for homes adding solar panels in order to conserve the energy resources and protect environmental balance. 
The functionality of solar panel also known as photovoltaic is pretty simple as it converts solar energy that consists of photons into electricity that can be utilized to power electrical loads. Solar energy is a renewable energy resource hence the usage of solar panels will not only cut down your electricity bills enormously or provide clean & healthy power source but also promote a sustainable environment for future generations to come. Now, this seems multi-beneficial with loaded benefits. The installation of solar panels can reduce one's dependency on utility company and traditional power sources by generating electricity for appliances and lighting.  Similarly, the heating costs will be diminished by installing solar panels at home that will impart power to heating systems and the savings can reap you substantial financial rewards. Another interesting fact that tips the scale in favor of solar panels is that the resale value of your home will increase by 20% with the installation of solar panels due to a vast array of advantages offered by it. 
We talk about saving the planet and Taking Care of the Earth but we all never dig deep on the concept and change our lives to perfect the environment as installing solar panels can decrease your household’s carbon footprint by an average of 35,180 pounds of carbon dioxide per year. You would have to plant 88 trees every year to eradicate that amount of carbon dioxide! With the current electricity crisis going on in Pakistan & increasing demand for electricity what better time to invest in solar panels than now so let’s take a step towards a greener planet and save money from our pocket. Enough said about the benefits and value of solar panels in the home, we need to consider options as to whether solar panels suit your home or not. The factors to bear in mind include,
• Do you have unobstructed access to sunlight for the most part of the day throughout the year?
• Is it worth making an investment?
• Local permits i.e. check with local council whether there are restrictions on installing solar systems?
• Do you have enough space on the roof to accommodate the solar panels?
Solar Panels are a smart choice for investment in hot climate countries that have availability of sunlight throughout the year so that solar electricity is generated from different sources such as water heater or batteries. The solar panels can be a bit expensive and cost within the range of Rs.28, 000 -30,000 for a 100-watt capacity. There are two types of solar panels that include polycrystalline and monocrystaline, the latter works efficiently in high heat and is most expensive. The size of the panel depends on two things isolation and how much energy is needed. The question as to how many panels you require simply depends on output per panel and isolation and the output depends on how much peak sunlight the panels receive. 
Lastly, it is important to reiterate the significance of green technology and solar technology because the responsibility for a sustainable and pollution-free living for generations fall on our shoulders and the only option we have to overcome environmental deterioration & power scarcity is to install Solar Panels in homes. So rightly said that the “energy conserved is a life preserver”.
