How do solar panels work?
Understanding solar panel operation is important when determining if solar is right for you. When sunlight hits the solar panels on your roof, they turn the sun's energy into electricity for your home. This electricity, whether from the solar panels or the utility company, powers your home just like usual. The solar panels generate direct current (DC) electricity, which goes to an inverter. The process of solar power conversion begins when an inverter converts DC into the type of electricity your home uses, called alternating current (AC). AC powers your everyday appliances. The electricity flows from the inverter to your home's electrical system, providing power.
