Sunlight hits the solar panels on the roof and produces DC electricity even when
the sun’s not out.
The DC gets sent to the inverter which converts the DC electricity to AC, which
is usable in our homes.
Any appliances in the house now run off this power during the day meaning you
are no longer buying power from your energy provider.
Any unused electricity is fed back into the grid through your import/export
meter, which calculates all the exported electricity. At the end of the billing
cycle it gets added up and you get paid credit for it! Happy days!
Your home is now protected from rising electricity costs, you’re saving money
and you’re saving the environment.
