Solar Power works when the sunlight carries energy down to earth. This energy is called photons. When the photons strike the semiconductor in the solar panels, electrons from the material itself get knocked out to form an electric current. This is electricity that people can use every day! Electric meter literally runs backwards when you are producing net energy and forward!!

1.Convert Sunlight Into DC Electricity:

Solar panels are mounted on your roof and convert sunlight into DC electricity that flows to an inverter.

2.Inverter Creates AC Electricity:

Inverters convert the direct current (DC) power into alternating (AC) power that your home can use.

3.Spin Your Meter Backwards:

You'll still have utility power when you need it. Any excess electricity will be delivered to the grid for a credit.
