SOLAR PRODUCTION
How Solar Power Works: Energizing Your Home with Sunlight
Switching to solar power is a step towards a sustainable future and a smart financial decision. Solar power harnesses energy from the sun using photovoltaic (PV) panels installed on your roof. These panels convert sunlight into direct current (DC) electricity. Since most home appliances use alternating current (AC) electricity, an inverter transforms the DC into usable AC power.
The converted electricity is sent to your home’s electrical panel, powering your lights and appliances. During sunny days, your solar panels may produce more electricity than needed. This excess energy is sent back to the grid, earning you credits through net metering. At night or on cloudy days, you can draw energy from the grid using these credits. For added security, a battery storage system can store excess energy for later use.
Transitioning to solar involves an assessment of your home’s energy needs and roof condition, followed by installation and connection to the grid. Most solar systems include monitoring tools to track energy production and consumption.
The benefits of going solar include significant cost savings, reduced environmental impact, increased energy independence, and higher property value. Embrace solar power for a brighter, more sustainable future.
