How do solar panels work?

Solar panels, at their core, are devices designed to capture sunlight and convert it into electricity. Made from photovoltaic (PV) cells, these panels absorb photons from sunlight, which then knock electrons loose from atoms within the PV cells, creating an electrical circuit. This process generates direct current (DC) electricity, which is then converted into usable alternating current (AC) electricity through an inverter, effectively powering your property.

This seamless conversion process allows the energy captured from the sun to be utilized just as efficiently as the power supplied by the grid. With advancements in solar technology, this process has become more efficient and sustainable, enabling homeowners and businesses to enjoy reduced energy costs and contribute to a healthier planet by lowering carbon emissions.

In addition to solar panels, a complete solar energy system requires several other vital components to efficiently harness, convert, and manage the power of the sun. One essential piece of equipment is the solar inverter, which we've mentioned transforms the direct current (DC) electricity generated by the panels into alternating current (AC) electricity. Customers may also choose to invest in solar batteries.

These batteries store excess energy produced during the day, making it available for use during nighttime or on cloudy days, thereby ensuring a consistent energy supply. Furthermore, solar energy systems include mounting equipment and solar charge controllers. Mounting equipment securely attaches the solar panels to your roof or ground, ensuring they are positioned at the optimal angle to capture sunlight. Solar charge controllers play a vital role in regulating the energy flowing to and from the batteries, protecting them from overcharging and extending their lifespan. Lastly, metering equipment is necessary for measuring the output of your solar panels and taking advantage of net metering incentives.
