How Solar Energy Works

When sunlight strikes the solar modules (photovoltaic cells) the modules generate DC voltage and current. The modules are grouped together and wired in series so that output is increased depending on the number of modules in the circuit. The DC current is sent to an inverter which converts the DC power to AC power which can then be fed into the incoming electric grid from the power company. If the draw for power from the house or business is greater than the solar modules are producing, then they act as a supplement to the power from the utility company and reduce the amount of power being paid for, but if the amount of power they are producing is greater than the demand from the house or business, then that power is fed back into the electric grid and you are now selling power back to the power company. When this happens your electric meter will spin backwards (net-metering) providing a credit on your bill.
