How Solar Works

Invest in solar panels today – Make your future brighter!

Solar Panels convert sunlight directly into useable electric power. Sun never demands any bill, cost or fee while it’s supplying sunlight to our planet. Every day, sun rays travel in space over a large distance till the rays hit our roof tops.

The working and processing of solar panels is quite simple and easy to understand. Check out the structural configuration and working of solar panels.

The structural configuration of Solar Panels

Silicon cells are the backbone of solar panels. Generally, a Solar panel has a series of interconnected silicon cells that are linked together forming a power circuit. Silicon is a semi- conductor and this in-built feature becomes the main backbone that is why silicon is used as a fundamental configuration. These cells are structured & constructed with a positive – a negative layer, collectively creating an electrical field like a battery.

Working of Solar Panels

As the sunlight strikes Solar panels, photovoltaic cells get energy and due to their random motion, the energy is generated in the form of Direct Current commonly known as DC. The rays coincide with the solar panels and the conversion goes on. Solar Panels are the main stream of energy in our modern world. Once electric energy is produced, it simply needs to convert the DC power produced by the panels to AC power (Alternating Current) that can be used in your home and sent to the grid. The inverters are used to complete the job and then the alternating current is supplied to the house.

Battery Storage

Solar panels only generate energy when the sun is shining and that is where a Solar Battery stores unused energy from your solar panels to use at night time. Enjoy low cost electricity when having Solar Battery installed as when the sun goes down, your battery’s stored energy will power your appliances.

Net Metering (Grid-Connected)

What happens when your system produces more electricity than you are using at your property? Simple: it is sent out to the energy company to power the grid. The energy flow is tracked meticulously by your bi-directional electrical meter. This process is commonly known as Net Metering.

1. PV system powers your home. Any excess electricity is sent back to the energy retailer giving your feed in tariff credits in exchange.
2. At night or when the sun isn’t providing enough power for your home’s needs, the home is powered by electricity drawn from the grid.
3. At the end of each quarter, the homeowner is billed per kWh for grid usage minus the feed in tariff credits.
