  2. SOLAR ENERGY COMES FROM THE SUN Every solar system collects energy from the sun. A solar system does not generate energy, but converts solar energy into electricity that can be used in your home. A typical solar panel consists of layers of silicon cells, a metal frame, a glass housing, and various cables to conduct electricity from the silicon cells. Silicon is a non-metal with conductive properties that can absorb sunlight and convert it into electricity. When light interacts with the silicon cell, electrons start moving and current flows. This is called the “photovoltaic effect” and explains how solar panel technology works in general. This means that the module can produce energy as long as the sun is shining.

  3. SOLAR PANEL ABSORBS SUNLIGHT The photovoltaic process begins with a silicon photovoltaic solar cell that absorbs solar radiation. From there, sunlight interacts with the silicon cell, causing electrons to move and current to flow. When sunlight hits the panel, the panel produces direct current (DC). The amount of power a panel can generate depends on many factors, including panel type, panel placement, time of day, and temperature. The best way to determine how much energy a module can produce is to look at its efficiency class. Basically, the higher the efficiency, the greater the potential for producing more energy.

  4. INVERTER CONVERTS ENERGY As soon as the solar module absorbs direct current, it must be supplied to the solar inverter. The electrical grid and devices in your home are powered by alternating current (AC). Therefore, an inverter must convert the DC power collected by the panel into AC power to produce usable power. Inverters come in two general types: String inverters and micro-inverters. A string inverter is mounted on the side of the house and collects all the power generated by the system in one place. A micro inverter is a small component attached to the underside of each solar panel.

  5. YOUR HOME IS POWERED BY SOLAR ENERGY Solar panels are connected to your home's switchboard and can distribute energy to your home as needed. This allows you to use the energy generated by your solar panels to power your home. The panel is connected to all devices of the electrical system such as: B. Refrigerators, dishwashers, air conditioners, and even electric cars.
