Solar Panels

Solar panels and inverters are key components of a solar energy system. Solar panels, also known as photovoltaic (PV) panels, are designed to convert sunlight into electricity using the photovoltaic effect. They consist of multiple solar cells that capture the sun’s energy and generate direct current (DC) electricity. These panels are typically mounted on rooftops or in open areas to maximize sun exposure.

Inverters, on the other hand, play a vital role in converting the DC electricity produced by solar panels into alternating current (AC) electricity, which is the standard form of electricity used in homes and businesses. Inverters are responsible for optimizing the energy harvested from solar panels and ensuring its compatibility with the electrical grid or usage within the property. They also provide important safety features and monitor the performance of the solar system.
