How Solar Works

Harnessing solar energy for your home is easier than you might imagine. With just a few essential components, a solar system transforms sunlight into clean, reliable electricity helping you cut energy costs, shrink your carbon footprint, and achieve true energy independence.

How Your Solar System Works — Step by Step

1. Solar Panels Capture Sunlight

1. Solar Panels Capture Sunlight

Solar panels, typically installed on your roof, are made up of photovoltaic (PV) cells that absorb sunlight and convert it into direct current (DC) electricity. As long as there’s daylight even on cloudy days your panels are producing clean energy.

2. The Inverter Converts Power for Home Use

2. The Inverter Converts Power for Home Use

The inverter transforms the DC electricity generated by your panels into alternating current (AC), which powers your household appliances. Usually mounted near your switchboard or on an exterior wall, the inverter ensures the energy your system produces is safe and ready to use.

3. Powering Your Home

3. Powering Your Home

The converted AC electricity flows through your home, running lights, appliances, and devices. The more energy your solar panels generate, the less electricity you’ll need to buy from the grid saving you money every day.

4. Storing Energy with a Battery

4. Storing Energy with a Battery

When paired with a battery, any excess solar power generated during the day is stored for later ready to use at night, on cloudy days, or during power outages. This boosts your energy independence and protects you from rising energy prices.

5. Exporting Excess Power to the Grid

5. Exporting Excess Power to the Grid

If your system produces more electricity than your household uses and your battery is full the surplus energy is automatically sent back to the grid. In return, you may receive a feed-in tariff credit on your electricity bill, turning your extra solar power into extra savings.
