Solar panels (or simply “PV”) capture sunlight and convert it to electricity. During the day when the sun shines, your PVs capture light as energy. That energy travels through wires down to a unit of installed equipment called an inverter. The inverter converts that energy into the type of power your house uses — a form of electricity called Alternating Current, or “AC.” That AC current then travels to your house’s electrical panel where net metering will occur.
At night, even when your solar panels are not gathering light energy, your house runs on the clean electricity excess, through net metering. And if need be, you’ll continue to get electricity from your local utility. So there’s no interruption in service…but your electric meter sure will turn a whole lot more slowly.

Solar panels capture sunlight
which becomes DC electricity.
Your system converts that energy
to AC current, which powers
your home.
Any energy you don’t use will
reverse the meter direction
through net metering. |
