1. SOLAR PANELS COLLECT SUNLIGHT
Every Solar Panel used in the Nexgen installation process is made up of photovoltaic (PV) cells. When the sunlight hits the solar panels, the PV cells produce direct current (DC) electricity.
2. POWER IS CONVERTED INTO USABLE ELECTRICITY
Each solar panel system has an inverter. The Inverter converts DC electricity into “Alternating Current” (AC) electricity needed to power your home.
3. ELECTRICITY FLOWS INTO YOUR NET METER
Usable electricity flows from your solar panels into the net meter. The net meter is just like a standard utility meter, but it monitors the electricity that you are drawing from the grid and credits you for the excess electricity that your solar panels are producing and sending into the grid.
4. USE THE ELECTRICITY PRODUCED BY THE SUN
After flowing through the net meter, electricity is distributed into your home to power items like your appliances, air conditioner, and even your swimming pool. If your solar panels do not produce enough energy for your needs, additional power is drawn from the grid.
