How Solar Works

While many clients understand how solar energy is produced, only some understand the inner workings of their systems. Educating them can provide a better experience of the system that is ultimately powering their home or business. So make a fresh cup of coffee. Get comfortable because we guarantee that you will feel like a solar system expert when you are done reading this page. Let the learning begin, and should you have any additional questions afterward, please do not hesitate to give us a shout.

Sunlight Activates The Panels

It all starts with a high-quality solar panel. Each comprises a metal frame with a glass casing covered in a special film, surrounded by wiring. These are arranged into groups which are called arrays. Once installed, solar cells, or photovoltaic cells as they are technically known, can start absorbing sunlight during daylight hours. This may seem simple, but your system will only be protected if you get the panels right. Rather than risking this, we suggest you call our experts to ensure you get what you deserve.

Cells Produce The Electrical Current

Each cell contains a very thin semiconductor wafer. This is made up of two layers of silicone. One is positively charged, and the other is negatively charged, which forms an electrical field. When the light energy hits these solar cells, it becomes energized, and all the electrons become detached. This is where the water comes into play. The electric field it creates sets the electrons into motion and produces the electrical current. This is the birth of your real solar power, and once it has been refined, we can promise you will be close to going completely off the grid.

Converting The Electrical Energy

Now that you have all this electrical energy floating around, you must find a way to convert it. It would help if you found a way to convert it from direct current to active current. The solution for this creatively enough is known as an inverter. With the advancements in inverter technology, you could have microinverters for each panel or one inverter for the entire system. The choice is yours, and you can rest assured that we will ensure we have your back no matter which option you choose. Give us a call today to get more information.

It is Our Secret

Would we give it all away for free? That wouldn't make us very good at our jobs, and we would not be in business very long. We have left the last two steps out because we know that only those serious about getting solar solutions into their homes or companies will call to find out more. So please make your decision, and when you are ready, our experts will be waiting to answer all your questions and will be more than happy to share the last couple of secrets with you.
