Getting Solar Electricity From Solar Panels

Rollover the text boxes below to see how it works.


Your home becomes a mini power station when the solar panels are connected to your commercial electricity supply.

Photovoltaic modules, or solar panels, are installed on a north-facing roof. The solar panels produce direct current (DC) electricity that is transformed into 240 Volt alternating current (AC) electricity by an inverter, to run standard electrical equipment and to match the commercial electricity supply.

You will continue to import electricity from your commercial electricity supplier to meet your household requirements and you will offset what you use against the output of your solar power system. Meters show how much electricity has been exported to the grid and how much electricity has been imported from the grid.

Solar panels will convert light into solar electricity. The efficiency of these solar panels depends on a number of factors. Contact Solar Inception to find the best solar panels for solar electricity generation based on your current home plans.
