"To all involved in my Solar Installation at JV Mechanical:
I just wanted to acknowledge what a great job everyone did at your company.
Having had a rather unfortunate experience with another local contractor, I was extremely nervous about having another one in my house.
Everyone from JV was extremely courteous, professional and went out of their way to answer all of my questions. From the person who set the appointment to the actual installers, this was a company that was a real pleasure to deal with.
Even after the install, when a tiny drip appeared at one of the joints, they came out the day I called and even spent additional time explaining some of the finer points of owning a solar system.
Thank you again for the great job.
- Sincerely, Kevin |
A little over 8 minutes ago (489 seconds to be precise), a vast number of light particles (known as photons) left the Sun's surface and made their way to the Earth. The majority of these particles will pass right through and continue on their way into the boundless reaches of space, but a small percentage will have their journey interrupted.
This relatively small number of particles will be tapped of their energy by being converted to electrons when they strike a device known as a solar cell. The amount of energy carried by these tiny little particles is simply enormous! In fact, on a bright, sunny day, the sun shines approximately 1,000 watts of energy per square meter of the planet's surface. Just imagine the potential!
