How It Works
How does it all work?
- Solar modules/panels absorb sunlight and convert it into D/C (direct current) electricity.
- The electricity is then routed to device called an Inverter which then converts the D/C power into A/C power.
This conversion is necessary because the power being fed from your utility grid is also A/C power. Since you will be sending power back into the grid it must be in A/C. - Once power is converted into A/C it is then routed back into into the utility grid through your main panel/utility meter. When you are producing more power than you are using your meter will spin backwards. All the power you produce will be sold/credited back to the utility grid at the same retail rates it was sold to you. This is known as net metering.
