How Solar Works
PV cells convert sunlight into electricity, powering everything within your business or residence. They work anytime the sun is shining, and more electricity is produced when the sunlight is more intense and strikes the PV modules directly. Solar thermal systems use the sun's heat to make electricity or are more commonly used in water heating applications to displace gas use.
In PV systems, a flow of direct current (DC) electricity is produced when sunlight strikes an array of solar panels. However, appliances and machinery work on alternating current (AC), as supplied by your utility.
The DC energy produced by the panels is fed into an inverter that converts the DC power into AC power, which then feeds into the main electrical panel that powers your home or business.
