Rooftop Solar
Give your home a superpower with grid-tied solar electricity. Generate your own energy right on your roof.
The Process
How Grid-Tied Solar Works
01
Sunshine hits the panels
Sunlight causes electrons to move through the wiring connecting your home’s solar photovoltaic panels, creating direct current (DC) electricity. Grid-tied solar arrays require no batteries, no complex wiring, and no moving parts. Instead, they connect directly with the grid (hence the name) allowing you to use the grid itself as a big battery.
02
A solar inverter converts DC power into AC power
The DC electricity produced by the solar panels is inverted into alternating current (AC) electricity that can be used in your home. The AC electricity flows into your circuit panel and is available for any active electric loads: lights, television, computers, refrigerator, etc.
03
Excess power is sent to the grid
If your solar energy production exceeds your demand, then the extra solar electricity is pushed from your home out to the grid. A separate meter tracks this exported electricity.
04
You earn credits!
This part is called net metering. At the end of the month the utility reconciles the difference between your solar production vs. electrical consumption, and you either earn credits or are billed accordingly. Earned credits carry forward up to a year.
