Solar basics
How does solar work?
Solar energy is utilised through a process that makes use of photovoltaic (PV) panels, sunlight, and clever engineering. Here’s how it works:
Solar panels, also known as PV panels, are made up of multiple interconnected solar cells, usually composed of silicon. When sunlight hits these cells, it excites electrons, creating an electric current. This direct current (DC) electricity flows through the panels.
The next step is inverter conversion. The DC electricity generated by solar panels is then converted into alternating current (AC) by an inverter. AC is the type of electricity used in our homes and businesses.
If your solar system produces more electricity than you need, the excess can be fed back into the grid.
During cloudy days or at night, you draw electricity from the grid. This interaction with the grid is facilitated by net metering, which allows you to receive credits for the excess energy you contribute.
From PV panels capturing sunlight to inverter conversion and grid interaction, each step plays a vital role in harnessing the power of the sun. Whether you’re reducing your carbon footprint, saving on utility bills, or ensuring backup power during outages, solar energy empowers a brighter, more sustainable future.
