Solar Power is an amazing technology that allows us to capture the power of the sun and use it to power our homes and offices.
This is how it works:
1. Sunlight hits the solar modules which convert the light energy into DC electricity.
2. An Inverter converts the DC electricity to AC electricity, the same as you normally get from your electric utility provider.
3. The electricity from the inverter flows through your electric panel or breaker box & is used to power your home.
4. When you are generating more electricity than you are using, the extra power flows out onto the grid. You actually run your electric meter backwards, essentially selling electricity back to the utility. At night or when you are using more electricity than you are producing, the grid supplies the needed electricity just the same way as your home operates today. You only pay for the NET amount of electricity you use!
