When you understand how solar works, you appreciate it even more.
Solar power systems produce energy simply and efficiently. Solar photovoltaic panels made of semiconductor material (silicon) capture sunlight and convert it to direct electric current (DC). Inverters installed on each panel convert the DC to safe alternating current (AC) that can be used in your home. The system is connected to your electrical panel (sometimes called an electrical breaker panel or electrical box) for electricity distribution throughout your house, or (in most states) return to the utility grid for credit.
