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
