The document explains how solar power systems work, detailing the roles of solar panels, battery banks, inverters, electrical panels, and utility meters. Solar panels convert sunlight into electricity, which is stored in battery banks for later use and converted to AC power for home appliances. Additionally, the utility meter tracks energy usage and allows for net metering, enabling homeowners to gain credits for surplus energy sent back to the grid.

- 2. SOLARPOWER The eco-friendly way to power your home
- 3. We’ll show you how it works…
- 4. SOLARPANEL Converts sun’s rays into energy
- 5. Solar Panels Sun’s rays hit the photovoltaic cells in each solar panel and electricity is created01
- 6. Battery 80% Input : charge : output : System : Ok SOLAR POWER HOME POWER BATTERY POWER Charge Controller manages power to the batteries
- 7. Solar Panels Charge controller keeps the batteries charged so they can be used at night or when the sun is not shining 02
- 8. Battery Bank stores energy to power the home
- 9. Solar Panels Battery bank provides energy to the home at night or when the home is using more energy than the solar panels can produce 03
- 10. Inverter converts DC power created by solar panels into AC power
- 11. Solar Panels Inverter converts solar generated DC power to AC power, to be used by the home’s appliances, lighting and devices 04
- 12. Electrical Panel connects and distributes power to the home
- 13. Solar Panels Electrical panel connects all of the home’s wiring so that electricity can be distributed to appliances, lighting and devices 05
- 14. 000000 00000 001 Utility Meter connects home to power grid and measures energy usage
- 15. Solar Panels Utility Meter measures power used by the home and the excess energy produced by the solar power system that flows back to the utility grid 06
- 16. Utility Grid provides power to home, when needed
- 17. Solar Panels Utility Grid Net metering allows the excess energy produced by the solar power system to flow back to utility grid to provide energy credits to homeowner 07
