Abstract :

Energy is available in different forms. It is available as renewable and non renewable sources. Renewable resources are naturally replenished over a period of time such as solar energy, geothermal energy, tidal energy and wind energy. Among these renewable sources, Sun is said to be the source of all forms of energy. According to Lijingcheng (2010) Solar energy is most commonly collected by using solar cells. Of course solar energy can be put to use to heat or light up a room by simply having well placed windows and skylights. To use solar energy to power electrical appliances solar cells and panels are used. A solar panel is a device that collects and converts solar energy into electricity or heat. Solar panels were in use over one hundred years ago for water heating in homes. The purpose of the study is to find out the energy saving aspects of solar panels such as factors considered in selection of solar panels and electricity charges before and after installing solar panels among the residents of Chennai. Hence the present study focuses on the energy saving aspects of solar panels. The results showed that there is significant difference among the electricity bills before and after installing solar panels
