How Solar Energy Works

Solar energy is a renewable source of energy that is clean, abundant, and free. It is a form of energy that is generated by the sun, which is the most powerful source of energy in our solar system. The process of generating solar energy starts with the installation of solar panels on rooftops or open spaces. These solar panels, which are made up of multiple photovoltaic cells, absorb sunlight and convert it into electricity through a process called the photovoltaic effect.

​

The photovoltaic effect occurs when photons, or particles of light, knock electrons free from atoms, allowing them to flow through a circuit and generate electricity. The solar panels are connected to an inverter, which converts the DC electricity generated by the panels into AC electricity that can be used to power homes and businesses.

​

When a solar panel generates more electricity than is needed, the excess energy can be stored in batteries or fed back into the power grid. This is known as net metering and allows solar panel owners to receive credit for the excess energy they generate.

​

Overall, solar energy offers numerous benefits, including lower energy costs, reduced reliance on fossil fuels, and a smaller carbon footprint. With continued advancements in technology and increased adoption of solar energy, we can build a more sustainable and eco-friendly future.

Why Solar?

  • How does solar energy work?
    Solar energy works by harnessing the energy from the sun's rays using solar panels. When sunlight hits the panels, they produce direct current (DC) electricity. An inverter then converts the DC electricity into alternating current (AC) electricity, which can be used to power your home or business.
  • What are the benefits to going solar?
    The benefits of using solar energy include reduced energy costs, lower carbon footprint, increased energy independence, and improved property value.
  • How much do solar panels cost?
    The cost of solar panels varies depending on the size, quality, and number of panels needed to power your home or business. However, the cost has significantly reduced over the years, and the average cost of solar panels installation in the US is now around $2.81 per watt.
  • How can I tell if my home or business is a good candidate for solar?
    The best way to determine if your home is a good candidate for solar is to have a professional solar installer perform a site assessment. Factors that can affect your home's suitability for solar include the amount of sunlight it receives, the angle and pitch of the roof, and the presence of shading from nearby trees or buildings.
  • Can solar panels work during a power outage?
    If your solar panels are connected to the grid, they will not work during a power outage. This is to ensure the safety of utility workers who may be repairing power lines. However, if you have a battery backup system installed, you can continue to use your solar panels during an outage.
  • What happens on cloudy days or at night when solar panels cannot produce energy?
    Solar panels do not produce electricity at night or during cloudy weather. However, if you have a battery backup system installed, you can store excess energy produced during sunny days to use when sunlight is not available.
  • How long do solar panels typically last?
    Solar panels can last for up to 25-30 years or more, depending on the quality of the panels and how well they are maintained.
  • What kind of maintenance do solar panels require?
    Solar panels require very little maintenance, but it is recommended to keep them clean and free of debris to maximize their efficiency. Occasional inspections may also be necessary to ensure that the panels are functioning properly.
  • Is financing available for my solar panels?
    There are several financing options available for solar panels installation, including loans, leases, and power purchase agreements (PPAs). Many states and utility companies also offer financial incentives for installing solar panels.
  • Is it possible to generate more electricity than I need with solar? If so, what then?
    Yes, it is possible to generate more electricity than you need with solar panels. If you produce excess energy, you can sell it back to the grid or store it in a battery backup system.
