How Solar Works

How Solar Energy Systems Work

1. Solar Panels

Your panels produce energy from sunlight.

2 Appliances

Running appliances use energy from your system.

3 Inverter

Converts solar energy from Direct Current (DC) to Alternating Current (AC) which powers your home.

4 Main Service Panel on Meter

The power from both your solar system and the utility meet in your Main service panel. If you produce more than your use, power goes back into the grid!

5 The Grid

Any excess solar energy you produce goes back to the grid when the sun isn’t shining. You draw power from your utility
