The sun is the most important star in our universe which is fundamental for life on the planet since it is our main source of energy which has given us the creation of renewable energies which have become an important source for the conservation of our planet, that is why in this post we will see in more depth the various sources of energy that the sun gives us.

The creation of these various energy sources have been a key piece for society, both in the family and in the industry, the use of these renewable energy sources has been increasing over the years due to the benefits that their installation provides, among them that the power supply is the same during the day or night.

Different types of renewable energy?

Solar photovoltaic: This energy source makes it possible to directly obtain electricity from solar radiation. Among its main characteristics is that it is renewable, inexhaustible and non-polluting since to obtain this energy it relies on photovoltaic solar panels. One of the great advantages of this technology is that it is modular: the panels can be used for self-consumption or to supply the electricity grid through power plants.

Solar thermal: This system takes advantage of the heat provided by the Sun. In this energy the process is as follows, solar radiation is used to become thermal energy and to heat a fluid, some examples are: heating or domestic hot water. To achieve this process, solar panel technology and thermosiphon equipment are used.

Passive Solar: This energy uses direct energy from the sun without undergoing any change process, this type of energy does not It is based on electronic devices for its use.
Some examples of this type of energy are the orientation of a house when built in order to take advantage of the sun in certain seasons of the year, as well as the type of windows on walls or ceilings for maximum use of solar energy.

Photovoltaic cells are electronic devices that are highly sensitive to light, resulting in the generation of electrical energy. These cells are capable of generating a voltage of 0.46 to 0.48 volts.

Photovoltaic cells are electronic devices that transform the sun’s rays into electricity.

How they work

Photovoltaic cells are electronic devices which are manufactured with semiconductor materials, one with a positive charge and the other with a negative charge.

When the photovoltaic cells are exposed to the sun’s rays through the solar panels, a photon of solar energy releases an electron, which remains free and creates a space, which will occupy another electron that was torn from its atom itself, resulting in the generation of electrical energy.

Main applications

Its application of these cells can be found in various places, such as in large corporate chains that opt for the use of solar panels due to the benefits they obtain by obtaining labels that are provided as environmentally responsible companies and of course, the decrease in costs of Electricity, on the other hand, is also found today in many homes.

You can find solar panels in the places you least imagine, such as on highways, streets, intersections, recreational areas, parking lots, etc. Today it is possible to make use of this energy at a low cost and with great efficiency, as well as in advertisements, bus stops

If we focus on the use of this intelligent energy in the home, we find no limitations because they can be placed on the roof of your home, obtaining the benefit of reducing the electricity costs that you generally pay in a certain time according to your electricity contract. so it turns out to be one of the best alternatives to produce energy at home.

If the electricity bill was very expensive from one month to the next, you should compare your bill with the previous one, since perhaps your consumption habits have changed and you are consuming much more electricity than before, or the type of rate has changed due to having had a high consumption for several consecutive months. Then what do I do? Have I stayed forever with that high rate on my electricity bill?

The truth is that to avoid paying so expensive, we leave you the following list so you can save on your electricity bill:

1. Reduce your electricity consumption
2. Replace your electrical equipment with others of lower consumption
3. Renewable energy

• • Solar Energy (The best alternative)
  • Wind power
  • Hydraulic energy
  • Maritime Energy (Not the same as Hydraulics)
  • Biomass energy
  • Geothermal energy

We are going to review the alternatives a little, if you choose to reduce your electricity consumption, it is the fastest way, unless you have the famous and terrible “DAC” rate at home, in this case, you will have to maintain that lifestyle , for nothing more and nothing less than 6 consecutive two-month periods, and let’s be honest, in very hot or cold seasons, you will return to the same consumption habits and your sacrifice will have been of no use.

Now, if we review the option “Replace your electrical equipment with others of lower consumption” let’s think about all the electrical equipment that you should change in your home or your business to have more saving ones and the cost that this would represent for your pocket. So let’s discuss the other options.

As a last option, we have “Renewable Energies” and of them the most feasible for almost all businesses and homes, is that of Solar Panels since if you seek advice from experts in the area you do not need to compromise your lifestyle, BEWARE, if you start to increase your electricity consumption such as having the air conditioning on all day without having told your advisor, you will not be able to see all the benefits that these represent.

You need a person or company to advise you on your “Investment Project”; When you require the solution, think of LUMEK and its team with more than 7 years of experience, which will ensure that you have the greatest possible savings according to your needs and if you need it with financing plans.
