How Solar Panels Work

Ever wonder how the sunlight converts into energy — or how some houses and business actually sell their energy back to the power company? If you are generating more power than you are using, then your local power facility will often buy the power from you.
solar energy grid
1. Solar Panels
Light from the sun consists of particles called photons. As photons are absorbed by the solar panels the photoelectric effect causes the flow of free electrons — electricity!
2. Amp Meter
This meter measures the instantaneous solar current output from the solar panel. You can watch the current increase and decrease as clouds pass overhead.
3. Grid Interactive Inverter
This is the device where direct current (DC) from the solar panels is transformed into 240 volt alternating current (AC) at 50 Hertz, suitable for running household appliances.
4. Kilo-Watt-Hour Meter
The kilo-Watt-hour (kWh) meter is a cumulative measurement of solar electricity which shows the total amount of electricity produced by the solar panel in kWh units.
5. Main Switchboard
The main switchboard is the common link in the whole grid interactive solar system.
6. Electricity Grid
When the solar panels are generating more electricity than the needed load, the excess power is exported to the electricity grid. The grid supplies electricity to the switchboard on a cloudy day or during the evening when the solar panels are not generating electricity. Additionally, the grid supplies electricity to the main switchboard when consumption of electricity is greater than the amount of electricity the solar panels are producing.
7. Electricity Load
The load is the electricity that appliances such as lights, computers, and refrigerators are consuming. Electricity is supplied to the appliances via the switchboard.
