     How does solar electric work? Simply put, solar PV panels convert sunlight into DC electricity. The DC electricity is then converted into AC electricity using an inverter. The AC electric is then distributed throughout your home or business. During times of low energy demand and lots of sun, these systems sell electric power back to the utility grid.

     To the right a typical solar power system and the components you will find is depicted. When the sun hits the modules, they produce energy. Turning light into DC is the photovoltaic process. Several solar cells are put together to make a solar panel or module. When you put many solar panels together, it’s a solar array which can generate enough energy to provide power for a home or community.
