About Solar Energy
During the day, sunlight provides two valuable forms of energy: heat and light. Heat is also called thermal energy, and light is considered a form of radiant energy, or energy that travels as electromagnetic waves. The sun, generating both heat and light, produces a form of energy that we call solar energy. Solar energy is a renewable resource, a source of energy that is constantly "renewed," or replaced, by the environment. As long as renewable resources are not used up more quickly than they can be restored, their supply is essentially limitless.
Solar energy can be harnessed passively or actively. An example of a passive use of solar energy is a home that has most of its windows facing south to receive the rays of the daylight sun, as well as thick walls and floors to absorb the heat during the day and release this heat at night when the earth cools down. An example of an active use of solar energy is an array of solar panels installed on a home for heat or electricity.

"I was very interested in getting Solar Panels - I asked a friend whom already had them installed many years ago -
He gave me the name Brian Kelly - I got in Touch with Sea Bright - and now I have Solar for over 2 years now with no troubles and No electric Bill either - I think my installation was a bit more challenging than some as I had an East West facing roof a bad angle, skylights and a small roof to work with, -- The installer Nick did an excellent job making this work out just fine by doing a combination front and rear installation with the rear set split between my skylights and raked. - In addition they came back recently at no charge and shifted a couple panels so that snow would slide off easier in the winter. Anytime I call with a question or concern - not a problem - The bottom line is I would have no hesitation recommending them."
