1. Solar power cells are converted from sunlight into DC electricity through a photovoltaic (PV) panel.
2. The DC electricity flows to the inverter. It’s then converted from DC electricity to AC electricity.
3. The newly inverted AC electricity moves from the inverter to the breaker box, where it’s used to power your home’s lights and appliances.
4. The entire system is connected to your city’s utility grid, allowing you to both give and receive energy.
