Your own mini power station

Solar Electric panels generate electricity using the photovoltaic (PV) effect. The solar panels are fitted to the roof and convert light into electricity. This electricity is fed through an inverter directly to the house or through a meter directly into the grid.

When your customer uses electricity they are using solar generated power or power from the grid if the solar energy is insufficient. If they are using little or no electricity, the solar system is feeding electricity back into the grid and the electric company buys that power from the owner.

Grid connected systems

1. Low voltage DC electricity is generated by the solar array
2. The DC electricity is fed to the Inverter which changes it to 240V AC
3. Appliances in the home use solar electricity direct from the Inverter
4. Any excess electricity flows through a meter and is sold to the electricity grid at the applicable ‘Feed In' tariff
5. Electricity also flows back from the grid through the meter as per normal
