Solar power is a clean, green, renewable energy source that you can generate from your own home. Simply install a solar power system on your roof and begin creating your own electricity while the sun shines.
When the sun shines onto the solar panels on your roof, they produce Direct Current (DC) electricity. This DC electricity is transmitted from the solar panels (modules) to an inverter which converts the DC electricity to Alternating Current (AC). The AC electricity is then transmitted to your home’s distribution system to supply electric power as required throughout the daylight hours.
During non-sun light hours, utility power provides the electricity you need.
What is photovoltaic solar power (PV)?
A very basic explanation of a photovoltaic solar power system is a combination of solar panels (see photo opposite) wired in a series to form an array. The solar cells (layers) capture energy from the sunlight and convert it to electricity.
This conversion from sunlight to electricity occurs because of the special properties of the semi-conducting materials (silicon) from which solar cells are made.
