Solar power is harnessed using Solar Photovoltaic (PV) technology that converts sunlight (Solar radiation) into electricity by using semiconductors. When the sun hits the semiconductor within the PV cell, electrons are freed and bus bars collect the running electrons which results in electric current. When we place Solar panels connected in a calculated manner in the sunlight, they start producing current and voltage in the form of Direct current (DC) but in most of the countries in the world appliances and equipment runs on Alternative current (AC) so we need to connect to all Solar panels to an Inverter which then converts DC into AC for use.

The PV (Photovoltaic) modules, or solar panels (1) capture the sun’s energy as DC power and the inverter changes that to AC power. The inverter (2) then sends the electricity to your home (3).These electricity producing solar energy systems are typically grid tied or net metered, (4) which means they run your meter backward and feed electricity back (5) into the grid when there is excess production.
