Solar energy systems capture sunlight and convert it into electricity, providing energy for homes, businesses, or industrial facilities. The steps involved are as follows:
Capturing sunlight: Photovoltaic cells in solar panels capture sunlight, generating direct current (DC).
Inverter converts the energy: The DC power is converted to AC power by an inverter for use in the home.
Power supply: The AC power is used to power appliances in the home. If the power generated exceeds demand, the excess energy can be stored in batteries or fed back into the grid.
Battery storage: If the system includes batteries, any unused power can be stored for use at night or on cloudy days.
Interaction with the grid: Grid-connected systems draw power from the grid when solar power generation is insufficient, or feed excess power back into the grid.
