Solar photovoltaic is the application of solar cells for energy by converting solar energy directly into electricity. When a home is mountainous or remote (like many homes in Tahoe), solar photovoltaic methods are the preferred possibility for generating electricity.
The benefits of solar photovoltaic power over traditional power are numerous. Solar power does not have harmful emissions during operation, and solar electric generation has the highest power density among renewable energies. Photovoltaic installations can operate for many years with little maintenance after the initial installation.
