How solar works

Solar energy is the largest energy resource available to us; one hour’s worth exceeds what all 6.8 billion of us consume in a year. Solar power is a clean, green, renewable energy that you can generate FREE for your home or business. Simply install a solar power system on your roof and begin creating your own electricity while the sun shines.

When the sun shines onto the solar modules on your roof, they produce Direct Current (DC) electricity. This DC electricity is transmitted from the modules to the Inverter (see image above) which converts the DC electricity to Alternating Current (AC). The AC electricity is then transmitted to your home’s distribution system to supply electric power as required throughout the daylight hours.

During non-sun light hours, utility power provides the electricity you need.

The amount of solar energy reaching the surface of the planet is so vast that in one year it is about twice as much as will ever be obtained from all of the Earth's non-renewable resources of coal, oil, natural gas, and mined uranium combined.

Solar energy is a free renewable clean form of energy generation that is not only good for the environment, but can also save you thousands on your power bill.
