You may know that solar panels basically absorb
the sunlight and then somehow that energy is
converted into electricity that you need at your
home. But how exactly does it work? What process
takes place in that whole system with multiple
hardware? Here we talk about it and you can learn
more about the same.
First step Sunlight is projected onto the Solar
Panel Surface
The solar panels on your roof are made of solar
cells, otherwise known as photovoltaic cells.
These cells are protected by a layer of glass on
top. These cells play a role in converting
sunlight into electricity. These panels are
mounted on the roof so that it can get maximum
sunlight exposure hence producing maximum
electricity.

Second step Solar Cells Create Electrical Power
Every solar cell is made of two silicon layers,
one of which is positive and another negative.
This creates an electrical field which in turn,
when hit with sunlight, makes solar cells
energized and that causes electrons to be knocked
loose from atoms within the semiconductor. The
loose electrons are set in motion which creates
electrical current. This process is the
photovoltaic effect which is the base of the
whole system.
Third step Converted Electricity
Now you have electrical current. Although the
produced electricity is direct current
electricity and your home appliances need
alternating current, the difference between AC
and DC! So the inverters jump into the picture
next. The solar inverters convert the DC to AC!
And then the appliances can use that electricity.

Fourth step The Appliances Use the Electricity
After the solar inverter has converted direct
current to alternating current, that current is
distributed to various appliances for their needs
and your home is powered with solar energy!
Fifth step The Measurement
When your system is installed on the roof, the
utility measurement meter is also connected to
the same, which then measures the exact amount of
energy that your house is using up with various
appliances.

Now your system powers your home and provides
energy with its own production. Although your
home is also connected to the grid of the
electricity provider. According to the usage your
home will acquire or send back the energy and
your bill will come with the final calculated
energy expense. When you install the system,
always make sure that you have considered and
taken care of all the Government rebates such as
Small-Scale technology certificates and also the
feed-in tariffs. With Amrut Solar, you can get
all the parts of the whole solar system with the
best guidance and assistance. We provide solar
panels, inverters and battery storage in a range
of varieties according to your needs.
When you Install a Solar System in Melbourne, you
save money and energy both. Along with that you
make a significant contribution to the
environment's betterment. Solar energy being a
renewable energy source, helps save the climate
and it is also best for your personal finances.
