Solar energy is the most abundant source of energy in the world, yet it comprises a tiny fraction of Ontario's electricity production. Helios Energy is working to change that.
There are many advantages of rooftop solar energy:
- Safe and proven technology
- Zero emissions from production
- Minimal noise and visual impact
- All-season operation
- No impact on wildlife
- Minimal maintenance requirements
- Short installation time
- Long-lasting (25-year warranties)
- No roof penetration required
The most common way of harnessing the sun’s energy is through photovoltaic (PV) solar panels. The panels comprise many solar cells, each of which is made of a semiconductor (often silicon) that converts solar radiation into direct current electricity. The direct current electricity is then turned into alternating current electricity for use by our homes and businesses.
