Solar panels are made up of Photovoltaic cells. These cells convert sunlight into electricity. When the sun’s rays hit the solar panels, the reaction creates direct current (DC) electricity. Since most homes use alternating current (AC) electricity, your solar-generated DC energy will pass through an inverter to become AC electricity. It then flows through your properties wiring and behaves just like the power you’ve been using your entire life.
