When making the commitment to install a solar power system on your property, you may want to know how you’ll be generating clean electricity:
- Sunlight hits your solar panels and creates energy.
- The energy is converted into electricity.
- The electricity is used as needed and excess power is sent back to your bidirectional meter.
- Excess power is sent from your meter to the utility grid and builds a “bank” of credits.
- Your utility company provides electricity at night after your “bank” of credits are used.
