Solar Panels : How They Work

    Solar modules, or panels as they are sometimes called, are placed on the roof or ground.  The solar panels contain photovoltaic cells which converts light into electricity.  We use SolarWorld Sun modules, one of the top manufactures and they are local!

The Inverter converts the incoming DC (direct current) power from the solar panels into AC (alternating current) power.  AC power is the standard electrical current used in homes to power appliances.

The Utility Meter continually measures your electrical supply; when your solar system produces more power than you need, the meter literally spins backwards, accumulating credits with the utility company that will offset your next bill. A remote, or independent, power system also can form a self-contained circuit without connecting to the grid. The off-grid system, however, requires batteries to store power for times, such as night, when modules do not capture enough light energy from the sun.
