🔍 Why This Matters
⚡ The Basics of Solar Energy
Solar panels convert sunlight into electricity using photovoltaic (PV) cells. Here’s how it works:
- Sunlight hits the panels → activates electrons in the PV cells
- Electric current flows → captured by wiring
- Inverter converts DC to AC → usable by home appliances
- Meter tracks usage → excess power may go back to the grid
This process is silent, clean, and scalable — perfect for residential rooftops.
🏡 What Homeowners Need to Know
- Panels don’t store energy — you’ll need batteries for that
