The Benefits of Solar Energy in Your Home
How Solar Energy Powers Your Home
Solar Panels Capture the Sun’s Energy
Solar panels installed on your roof capture sunlight and convert it into direct current (DC) electricity....
Inverters Convert the Energy
The DC electricity travels to an inverter, which converts it into alternating current (AC) electricity, the type used in your home.
Powering Your Home
The AC electricity is then used to power your lights, appliances, and electronics, reducing the amount of power you need from the grid.
Excess Energy
If your system produces more electricity than you need, the excess is sent back to the grid, and you may receive credit for it, helping to offset future energy costs.
Battery Storage (Optional)
With optional battery storage, you can store excess energy for use at night or during cloudy days, maximising your solar investment.
