Solar
PV Panels
convert sunlight instantly into DC electric power.
Existing
Electrical Panel
distributes solar electricity and utility power to loads in
the house. These circuits will not, however, operate during
a utility outage.
Utility Power
is automatically provided at night and during the day when your
demand exceeds your solar production. |
Inverter
converts DC power into standard household AC power for use in
the home and synchronizes with utility power.
Utility Meter
spins in reverse when solar power production exceeds house demand,
selling power back to the utility. |
Battery
Storage (optional)
provides energy to the inverter to operat,e dedicated loads
during a utility outage, day or night.
Batteries
are recharged during an outage by the solar array, and are
kept on float during normal utility operation.
