Bring you a simplified explanation of how a solar system works:

When sunlight falls on the solar panels, the panels' cells absorb these photons, Within the solar panels, the conductor silicon converts the absorbed photons into electrons. This process is known as the photovoltaic effect.

The solar panels produce direct current (DC) electricity, which is a type of electrical current that flows in one direction.

The DC electricity generated by the panels is sent to an inverter. The inverter converts the DC electricity into alternating current (AC), which is the type of electricity used in homes and businesses.

The AC electricity produced by the inverter can now be used to power electrical devices and appliances, or it can be fed into the electrical grid for credit or sale to the utility company.

In some regions, homes and businesses with solar systems can take advantage of net metering. Net metering allows the excess electricity generated by the solar system to be sent back to the grid, and the owner receives credits for the electricity produced. These credits can be used when the solar system is not generating enough electricity, such as during nighttime or cloudy days.

Overall, a solar system allows individuals and businesses to harness the clean, renewable energy of the sun to offset their electricity consumption, reduce their carbon footprint, and save money on utility bills over time.
