Sunlight hits the solar electric (photovoltaic) panels and causes the release of electrons, creating DC electricity.
An inverter converts DC electricity into AC electricity so that it can be used in your home or business, or sold to “The Power Grid” (electric company).
The AC electricity is fed into a separate service panel. In the state of North Carolina, most solar electricity generated is sold to “The Power Grid” (the electric company) and you continue to purchase electricity from the electric company.
The result is that you sell electricity you produce at a profit and effectively reduce your electric bill while maintaining consistent, dependable power. Solar systems produce best during peak demand periods at mid-day.
