YES! Solar works in western Pennsylvania! We receive 82% (NASA) of the same solar radiation that Miami, FL receives. Solar works on light not sunshine, so western Pennsylvania generates more than enough light to produce renewable energy that will significantly lower your energy costs.
How it works: Solar panels are made up of silicon wafers that are laminated under a non-reflective glass. When light hits the silicon in the solar panel, electrons from the silicon generate a DC electrical current and are sent to an inverter.
The inverter converts the DC current to an AC current. The energy then goes to an electric panel and is available for use in the home. If the solar panels generate more electricity than what is used in the home, the electricity is sent to the electric company and “banked” for future use.
When the homeowner is in need of electricity, the “banked” watts are sent back to the home at no additional cost to the homeowner.
