How Sunlight turns into Electricity

• Photovoltaic (PV) cells convert sunlight to direct current (DC) electricity.

• The inverter converts DC into alternating current (AC) electricity.

• The electrical panel sends power to your lights and appliances.

• The battery takes any excess energy and stores it for use at night.
