How Solar Works

The Sun is the most abundant source of energy in the universe. It is also renewable in the sense that it is impossible for humans to use its energy at a faster rate than it takes to replenish it.

A solar photovoltaic power system works by converting sunlight directly into electricity.

Solar Panels

Solar photovoltaic (PV) modules are mounted on the roof or ground of your facility to collect sunlight and convert to DC power.

Battery Bank

Excess DC power produced by the PV modules is stored in the battery bank for use when the sunlight goes down at night, while the rest is passed on to the inverter.

Inverters

DC power is sent to a power inverter which converts it into AC power that can be used by most electrical appliances.

Electrical Panel & Meter

Electrical power is transmitted from the inverter to the electrical panel (breaker box) where it is distributed to the electrical loads throughout the facility.
