How a rooftop solar system works.
From sunlight to electricity in five steps.
- Sunlight
- Sunlight reaches the solar panels during the day, strongest through the middle hours.
- Solar panels
- Solar panels convert sunlight into DC electricity.
- Inverter
- The inverter converts DC electricity into the AC electricity used by the building.
- Battery storage
- Where a battery system is installed, surplus energy can be stored for later use.
- Your home or business
- Your electrical loads use available solar power first, with grid power supplying the remaining requirement where applicable.
Important: whether battery storage is suitable for you depends on your electricity usage, operating pattern and budget.
