How Solar Power Works
A Simple 4-Step Guide

 1Â
Sunlight Becomes Electricity
Solar panels capture sunlight and convert it into direct current (DC) power—the first step in turning sunshine into usable energy.
 2Â
Power is Converted
An inverter transforms DC into AC power, making it safe and ready for your home.
 3Â
Your Home Uses Solar First
Solar energy flows into your electrical panel to power lights, appliances, and devices. Need more? Your home automatically pulls from the grid.
​
Want more control? Add a home battery to store extra power for nighttime, cloudy days, or outages.
 4Â
Extra Power Goes to the Grid
A bi-directional meter tracks energy use and credits you for excess power, lowering your electricity bill.
