Solar energy is a fantastic way to harness green energy in your home or business from the sun. Although popularity is growing, many people still do not know how solar panels work, they understand the overall concept, but not the specifics. Simply Solar has put together a step-by-step basic description of how solar panels work. Contact our team for further questions about converting your home to solar energy.
Step-By-Step Overview
In short, solar panels work by absorbing sunlight and converting it into energy. Most people know this basic version. The more specific step-by-step details are as follows:
- Silicon photovoltaic cells within the solar panels absorb the sun’s energy.
- Electrons begin to move within the cells and create a flow of electric current.
- The photovoltaic cells then convert the sun’s energy into direct current (DC) electricity.
- Connected to the solar panel, the solar inverter converts the DC electricity from the solar modules to alternating current (AC) electricity. This step is essential because most home appliances and electronics use AC electricity, not DC electricity.
- Electricity is then able to flow through your home to power electronic devices.
- Any excess energy that is created gets sold back to the grid giving you a credit on your account.
