Turning Sunlight into Energy
A solar energy system collects sunlight and turns it into electricity to run homes, vehicles, or businesses
The sun releases small amounts of energy known as photons all the time. In just one hour, enough photons reach Earth to cover the world’s energy needs if we could use them all

Difference Between Direct Current and Alternating Current
Bringing Solar Power Into the Home
How does electricity from a solar panel become compatible with the AC outlets and appliances in your home?
It’s done using an inverter.
In most solar-powered homes, a central inverter is used. With this setup, all the solar panels on the roof are connected by wiring that leads to a single large unit, usually installed in the garage or mounted on the side of the house. This unit converts the panels’ DC electricity into AC power for household use.
In contrast, the custom solar systems we install use microinverters. Instead of one central unit, each panel has its own microinverter that converts DC to AC right at the panel. This panel-level conversion is more efficient and helps maximize overall system performance.
Regardless of whether a central inverter or microinverters are used, the final result is AC electricity that powers the home.
