hOW SOLAR WORKS

Solar Panel
The solar panel's job is to take excess electron energy and turn it into electric power. Silver acts as the conductor to pass electricity on to an inverter.
Power Inverter
The inverter acts as the brain of your solar system. It converts Direct Current (DC) electricity into Alternating Current (AC) power (the standard electrical current used in your home). Each solar cell generates roughtly 1.0 volt of electricity.
Electrical Panel
The AC power is run to the electrical panel (breaker box) where it can be distributed throughout your home.
Utility Meter
This is where the utility bill savings happen. The utility meter measures your electrical supply. Usually, solar panels produce more power than your home will actually use. Your utility company will offset your next bill for any excess power your system accumulates.
