Solar Power:
How Solar PV Works
  Sunlight hits the photovoltaic panel array and is absorbed by the silicon in the cell. Electrons are blasted off the atoms and gather at one end of the cell due to an electrical charge. This produces DC electricity.

The DC current runs from the PV array into an inverter which converts the electricity into alternating current (AC).

The AC power goes into your home and is used to run the everyday electrical items. All excess power is fed back into the grid, effectively running the electrical meter in reverse.

Stand Alone & Grid Tie Photovoltaic systems
  Our PV solar panels are Monocrystalline.  

 

Monocrystalline: Each cell is made of a single crystal of silicone. Our modules are made with this type of cell.

They are the most efficient, perform the best in most conditions, and last the longest. They cost more, but are worth it.

The first single crystal solar cells made by The basic PV cell is a semiconductor that releases a flow of electrons (electric current) when light (photons) hit it.


A solar module is made of dozens of solar cells wired together to produce higher voltage and current.
