Solar Electric System Basics

Solar Modules
Photovoltaic (PV) systems are amazingly simple in concept - they convert sunlight directly into electricity. The process begins when sunlight strikes a solar cell, causing an electron in the shell to jump. This electron is freed, creating a small current. When this process happens over and over to numerous solar cells, enough electricity is created to power the appliances in your home.

Inverters

PV Systems feature a variety of components, including solar modules, which consist of numerous solar cells wired together in series, and inverters, which convert the direct current (DC) generated by solar modules into alternating current (AC) for use by the appliances in your home. There are also various PV system types, including Grid-Connected PV Systems and Systems with Battery Back-Up for Power Outages Click here to learn about PV System Components, and PV System Types
