Take Control Of Your Energy
Learn How You Can Generate Your Own Electricity
Solar Panels
The First Step in any Home Solar System is Solar Panels. These panels are made up of a bunch of photovoltaic cells, which allow the panels to harvest the light from the sun, which then creates a natural source of energy
Batteries
The Next Step in your Home Solar System is batteries. This will allow you to store the energy your panels harvest from the sun, so you can power your home without being plugged into the Electric Grid.
Converting Sunlight Into Electricity
Arguably the Most Important Step in your Home Solar System is converting energy produced by the sun into Usable Electricity. This process is done by using an Inverter. When the Solar Panels harvest energy from the sun, that energy is called a Direct Current (DC). This means that the current is flowing in one direction consistently, with an inability to reverse itself. This makes it perfect for charging batteries and storing energy, However, it is not stable enough to run a home electrical system. This is where the inverter comes in handy. The inverter takes the energy, either directly from the solar panels, or indirectly from the batteries, and transforms it into Alternative Current (AC). This current is more stable, and safer in case of shock, or shortage. The AC power has the ability to reverse its current, preventing further damage and harm to you or your electronic devices.
