What's solar energy ?

Solar energy is fueled by the sunlight that shines every single day, making it a renewable source of energy that will never run out .  Solar photovoltaics, or PV” for short, turn sunshine  directly into electricity  



The defining components of a solar system are solar panels (1), the inverter (2), the electrical panel in the home (3), and the electricity meter (4) - all of which connects to the (much) larger electricity network known as the grid (5). 


An easy way to understand how solar systems work is to follow the flow of energy from component to component, as depicted in the diagram below:

1. Solar Panels: Solar cells are combined in solar modules, which are combined into solar panels, which produce electricity from sunlight through the photovoltaic effect.


2. Inverter: Your solar electricity is then sent to an inverter, which transforms the electricity from DC  to the AC  that we use in our homes and appliances.

3. Electrical Panel: The inverter then feeds this AC electricity to the building's electrical panel, allowing it to power the electrical appliances and lights in the building.

4. Electricity Meter: Any excess electricity that is not used within the building is then measured by an electricity meter as it flows onto the utility's electricity network

5. The Grid: For every kilowatt-hour (kWh) of electricity a solar system sends back to the grid
