Any person who has studied the basic laws of thermodynamics would know that when energy is converted from one form to the other, the process is never 100% efficient. Yet, in thermal power plants, we continue to use a number of conversion steps. First, chemical energy in the form of fuel is converted into heat. The heat is then converted into mechanical energy in the form of running turbines. Eventually, the turbines produce electricity. At every step of production, energy is wasted. Even though, steps are taken to minimize the distribution losses, their magnitude continues to be quite significant. In terms of pure logic, would it not make sense to convert a particular form of energy directly into electricity such as photovoltaic cells? The process does not require any human intervention, no external fuel, generates no noise or pollution and is highly sustainable. On top of all that, it does not require distribution as solar panels can be installed on location. For those willing to benefit from this solution, Edison Solar provides them the opportunity to harness
solar energy Santa Clarita by allowing the purchase of solar panels on lease.
