Solar photovoltaic (PV) systems harness sunlight to generate electricity, but several factors can contribute to energy losses. Such losses occur at different stages, from sunlight interception by solar panels to converting light into usable energy. One major source of loss is due to scattering of sunlight by panel surfaces and environmental factors

Going solar in North Carolina is an excellent opportunity for residents and businesses to reduce their energy costs, increase energy independence, and support environmental sustainability.
