How It Works
Photovoltaic (PV) panels convert sunlight directly into electricity.
The system consists of:
The system consists of:
- Solar PV Panels -- Generate DC electricity
- Inverter -- Converts the DC to standard AC electricity that is compatible with the electrical grid and capable of powering electrical devices.
- Utility Meter -- Tracks the solar electricity that your system produces and feeds to the utility grid, thereby keeping track of your credit from the utility.
A grid-tied solar electric system can generate power on-site to supply a home or business that is connected to the utility grid and offset the usage from the utility company. Grid-tied systems are the most common types of solar systems.
An off-grid solar system with a battery back-up can supply power to a remote home or area that would otherwise not have access to electricity.
