How solar power works
Solar power is a renewable energy source from the sun. This power is captured by solar panels installed on your roof and converted into usable energy in your home.
Step 1:
Sunlight hits the solar panels on your roof.
Step 2:
Solar cells in your panels are activated and produce electrical currents.
Step 3:
These electrical currents are converted into usable energy by a solar inverter.
Step 4:
This energy can be used in your house, or stored in a battery if you have one. Using the energy you produce means you don’t need to buy electricity from the grid.
Step 5:
Any excess energy you don't use or store in a battery can be fed back into the electricity grid. You'll receive a small rebate on your power bills from your electricity retailer.
