How Do Solar Panels Work
Panel
It all starts with the sun. Solar panels on your roof catch the sun's rays and turn them into DC electricity.
Microinverter
Microinverters are the secret sauce. These black boxes attach to the back of your panels turn the DC electricity from the panels into AC electricity, the type your home uses.
Grid
Even though a solar energy system supplies electricity, staying connected to the grid is important. Energy from your local utility is an essential part of your energy mix.
