HOW SOLAR POWER SYSTEMS WORK

How Solar Works

The three basic components of a grid-tie solar power system are the solar panels, inverter, and bi-directional billing meter. The solar panels collect the sun's energy and the inverter converts it into utility-grade electricity, which is fed directly into your property. Any unused, excess solar power is sold back to the utility and accounted for via the bi-directional billing meter. To easily track energy production your solar power system includes a dedicated kilowatt-hour meter.

Solar is universal and will work virtually anywhere, however some locations are better than others. To evaluate the output for your location a proper site evaluation must be performed, and American Solar provides this at no cost or obligation. It is important to note that the electricity solar power systems produce is no different than what your utility company supplies to your home, except that your solar-generated power saves you money and helps the environment!
