How Does Solar Power Work?

The panels are made up of photovoltaic (PV) cells, which convert sunlight into direct current (DC) electricity throughout the day.

Solar Panels

This device converts the DC electricity generated by the solar panels into the alternating current (AC) electricity.

Inverter

The AC electricity is sent from the inverter to your electrical panel to power your lights and appliances with solar energy. The electrical panel is often called a "breaker box."

The utility meter measures your energy use. It actually goes backward when your system generates more power than you immediately need. This excess energy offsets the energy you use at night.

Your business is still connected to the grid. You’ll need that power from the utility company at night, but don’t worry. The cost is offset by any excess solar energy you put into the grid during the day.

I bet you’re wondering how to keep track of all of that power being produced on your roof. We install production and consumption monitoring on every system so you can keep track of not only how much energy your system is producing, but also how much energy you are consuming. No guessing games here.
