How It Works
- Sunlight strikes a solar panel.
- The energy in the sunlight is transferred into electricity by the semiconductor material in the solar panels.
- An inverter synchronizes the solar system's output with your home's electrical system.
- When the solar energy generated exceeds the amount of energy used by your household, your electric meter spins backwards. The utility company buys power from you!
- During times when your energy needs exceed what you are generating from solar power (such as nights and cloudy days), your home automatically draws needed power from the utility grid.
