How solar works

The sun
The free and infinite, renewable fuel that is the sun!
Solar panels
Convert sunlight into clean green DC electricity.
Main grid
When your system generates more electricity than your household uses, excess flows back to the grid, providing others with clean green energy. And you get credit from your power company.
Inverter
Converts DC electricity into usable AC electricity.
Battery
Store the additional clean green solar energy you’ve produced during the day to use at night or during a power outage.
Electric vehicle (ev)
Charge your electric vehicle at home.
