How Solar Works
A simple guide to how solar power turns sunlight into clean, cost-saving energy for your home.
01
Sunlight Hits the Solar Panels
Solar panels, usually mounted on your roof, absorb sunlight using photovoltaic (PV) cells. These cells convert the sun’s energy into direct current (DC) electricity — the first step in generating renewable power.
02
The Inverter Converts DC to AC Power
Your home runs on alternating current (AC) electricity. The inverter transforms the DC energy produced by your panels into usable AC power, ready to run your lights, appliances, and heating systems.
03
Power Your Home First
The solar electricity you produce powers your home directly. On sunny days, most of your energy needs can be met straight from your solar system, reducing your reliance on the grid.
04
Send Excess Energy Back to the Grid (or Store It)
If your panels generate more electricity than you use, the surplus is either exported to the National Grid (earning you credits through the Smart Export Guarantee) or stored in a solar battery for later use — such as at night or on cloudy days.
05
Track Your Savings in Real Time
Most systems include smart monitoring, allowing you to see how much energy you’re generating, using, and saving. It’s a clear, data-driven way to understand your home’s energy efficiency.
