How Solar System Work
A solar storage system consists of three basic components: solar panels, an inverter, and energy storage batteries. Solar panels capture sunlight shining on your roof and convert it into electricity. The solar inverter connected to the solar panels converts this electricity into clean energy that powers your home’s lighting and appliances. The solar energy used to power your home reduces the amount of energy you draw from the grid, thereby lowering your electricity bill. Energy storage batteries store excess solar energy generated by the home and use this energy at night, enabling the home to become self-sufficient.
This energy independence will make the grid cleaner and more reliable, accelerating the global transition to sustainable energy.
How is your home powered at night?
We connect your solar system to your home’s electrical panel, similar to other circuits in your home. At night, the solar power system shuts off, and your home is powered by the energy storage battery. When the battery’s stored energy drops below the safety threshold you set or is completely depleted, your home is powered by the grid. During this time, your utility company’s meter will record your home’s electricity usage, just as it does currently.
Where does the solar energy go if I don’t use it all?
When the sun is shining, the electricity generated by your rooftop solar system flows into your home’s electrical panel. When the system generates more electricity than your home immediately consumes, the meter reflects this. Some meters will stop spinning, while bidirectional meters will spin backward when solar power is supplying your home. During this time, your electricity bill will show zero usage. On a sunny summer day, your solar panels may generate more electricity than your home needs. At this point, your solar system will fully power your home, and if you have installed a grid-tied hybrid inverter, the excess electricity will flow backward through the meter and be consumed by other households and businesses on the grid.
What is the cost of solar panels?
The cost of solar panels depends on several factors, including the installer, equipment, the size of the solar panel system, and any upgrades your home may require. Through large-scale manufacturing, installation, and service provision, Greenvoltra can offer customers the lowest-cost solar solutions.
