Solar Panels
Made up of photovoltaic (PV) cells, which convert sunlight into direct current (DC) electricity throughout the day.
2
Inverter
This device converts the DC electricity generated by the solar panels into alternating current (AC) electricity. It can be installed on an exterior wall or in your garage.
3
Electrical Panel
The AC electricity is sent from the inverter to your electrical panel and then into your home to power your lights and appliances. The electrical panel is often called a “breaker box.”
4
Utility Grid
Your home or business is still connected to the grid, so that you’ll be able to use the electricity from the utility company at night.
