Using the sun to power your home.

The sun can be used to power your home more effectively when you install photovoltaic or PV panels. When the sun's rays hit these panels they are absorbed by certain materials that are semi-conductors such as silicone. This separates the electrons from the atoms so that they can flow through this material and electricity is produced. Converting light to electricity is known as the photovoltaic effect. The electricity so produced is stored in solar inverter and is used later on when you need it. There are many solar inverters Australia companies who sell inverters that meet your varied needs.

Solar panels convert light to direct current (DC) electricity. This must then be converted to alternating current (AC) before it can be used to run household appliances. This is done by passing it through an inverter before it enters the home's utility panel for further distribution to lights and appliances. solar inverters Australia help you to make efficient use of the sun’s energy.

Solar energy is also stored as DC electricity in inverters to supply the home with power during the night or if there is a blackout during the day. Or maybe for when you have cloudy weather that reduces the amount of solar power available for conversion.

If more electricity is produced than can be used or stored, then this can be transferred to the power grid with a utility meter to keep track of the amount of electricity that goes in or out of the house. The inflow and outflow of electricity are offset so that you only pay for the amount of electricity that is used. Sometimes, you don’t have to pay anything because what you use from the grid is paid back by the energy you generate from the solar panels.
