How Solar Power Works

A Simple 4-Step Guide

How Solar Power Works

 1 

Sunlight Becomes Electricity

Solar panels capture sunlight and convert it into direct current (DC) power—the first step in turning sunshine into usable energy.

 2 

Power is Converted

An inverter transforms DC into AC power, making it safe and ready for your home.

 3 

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.

 4 

Extra Power Goes to the Grid

A bi-directional meter tracks energy use and credits you for excess power, lowering your electricity bill.
