How Solar Power Works

Solar photovoltaic (PV) panels collect the sun's energy and convert it into direct current (DC) electricity.  The number of panels you need is determined by your electricity needs and financial objectives or selected to fill available unshaded roof or ground space.

Solar panels are electrically wired to an inverter that converts the electricity from DC to alternating current (AC) electricity for use in your building.

An electric meter displays net power usage. When you generate more than you use, your meter actually spins backwards effectively selling electricity back to the power company.

You now produce your own electricity to be used throughout your building. Since there are no moving parts, you don't have to worry about maintenance. You can monitor your system’s performance anytime, anywhere live on the web.

Note: Solar PV systems are not to be confused with solar thermal, which is a different type of solar technology that heats water with the power of the sun.
