How Solar Works

Solar is a simple, elegant technology that is virtually maintenance-free due to the fact that it has no moving parts. The energy source — sunlight — is reliable, locally available, and always free

A solar electric system is composed of just a few major components – photovoltaic (PV) panels (the generator of electricity) and an inverter (a power conditioning unit). With a grid-tied solar electric system, your system is connected to the local utility grid, which serves as the energy storage and backup for the solar power you generate.

During the day when the sun is shining, your PV panels are generating electricity, and if you are not home to consume the electricity, it is fed through the meter to the utility grid and your meter actually spins backward, banking credit for you.

Later in the evening when you return home, you use electricity from the utility grid and your meter spins forward utilizing the credit you accrued during the day. The utility company is required to credit you for the amount of electricity your system contributes to the grid at the retail value of the electricity at the time it was generated. By properly sizing your solar system to cover your electricity usage, you can eliminate your electric bill.
