Frequently Asked Questions
    How does it work?

        Sunlight Hits Solar Panels: Photovoltaic cells in the solar panels absorb sunlight.


        Conversion to Electricity: The PV cells convert sunlight into direct current (DC) electricity.


        Inverter Transformation: An inverter changes the DC electricity into alternating current (AC), which is what most homes use.


        Power Your Home or Business: The converted AC electricity powers your home or business, with any excess energy stored in batteries or sent back to the grid.
