The Basics of Solar Power For Your Home基本的太阳能发电为你的家
By Rick Chapo由里克chapo
Solar power is an alternative energy source with tremendous economic and environmental benefits.太阳能发电是一种替代能源，有着巨大的经济效益和环境效益。 If you’re considering it for your home, here are the basics.如果你正在考虑为你的家，这里是一些最基础的。

Sunning Your Home宁您家

Put simply,简单地说， works by converting free sunlight into usable energy.工程由转换免费阳光变为有用的能源。 This process involves using photovoltaic tiles or platforms to capture the energy inherent in sunlight.这一过程涉及用光伏瓷砖或平台来捕捉能源固有的阳光。 The photovoltaic materials consist of positive and negative slices of material, often silicone, that react to the sun.光伏材料构成的正面和负面的切片材料，往往是硅，即反应太阳。 As the sunlight hits these cells, the energy “slices” off negatively charged ions.由于阳光点击这些细胞的能量"切片"小康带负电荷的离子。 This creates a magnetic field, a form of energy.这创造了一个磁场，一种形式的能源。 The energy is then captured in small wires, which forms an electric current.能源消耗是俘虏，然后在小电线，形成电流。 The wires are connected to an inverter.电线连接到一个逆变器。 The inverter converts the energy into a usable power source.逆变器转换成能源的实用电源。

The beauty of美 is it is a free source of energy.这是一个自由的能源来源。 Historically, the cost of capturing and maintaining从历史上看，成本的捕捉和维护 wasn’t cheap, but this has changed dramatically in the last ten years.是不便宜，但这种情况有了很大的改变过去十年。 Systems are now much more efficient, with the total cost usually involved in the purchase and installation.系统现在更为有效，总成本通常涉及在购置和安装。 Depending on the system, there is almost no maintenance cost and most systems have a 40 or 50 year life span.依靠该系统，也几乎不存在维修费用，最系统，有一个40年或50年的寿命。 Not bad, eh?不坏，嗯？

Going solar is also more attractive now because of laws passed by numerous states.去太阳，也更具吸引力，因为现在的法律，通过无数的国家。 Initially, homeowners can get a tax rebate for installing最初，房主可以得到退税安装

solar.太阳能。 On top of this, more than half of the states now mandate a concept known as “net metering.”除此之外，将有超过一半的国家现在任务的一个概念，称为"净计量" 。

Net metering is all about saving tons of money on your utilities.净计量全是对储蓄吨的金钱，你的事业。 Essentially, you are now allowed to “sell” power back to the utility companies at the same price they charge you.基本上，你现在让"卖"电力回公用事业公司在同一价格向您收取。 With solar power, this means you can simply feed your system into the utility grid during the day and then use regular energy at night.与太阳能发电，这意味着你可以简单地给你的系统进入实用的网格在白天，然后再利用经常能源在夜间进行。 Since your utility meter runs backwards, this effectively means you will dramatically reduce, if not eliminate, your electricity bills.因为你的电表违背了倒退，这实际上意味着你将大大减少，如果不能消除，你的电费帐单。 This process alone can save you thousands of dollars a year and $40,000 to $100,000 over the life of the system, depending on your typical monthly bills.这个过程中，仅可为您节省数千美元的一年元和四万至十万元以上的生活制度，这取决于您一般每月法案。 With such savings, you can see why这样的储蓄，你可以看到为什么 is becoming more attractive.正变得更具吸引力。

When it comes to solar power, the question isn’t whether you should use it.当谈到太阳能发电，问题不在于你是否应该加以利用。 The real question is why you aren’t using it already!真正的问题是，你为什么不用它已经！
