Solar panels for your home – Frequently asked questions

How do solar panels work?

Solar panels contain silicon crystals that convert solar radiation into direct current (DC). An inverter then converts this into alternating current (AC) for use in your home.

On days when your solar panels don't produce enough electricity, your home draws the necessary energy directly from the power grid. Conversely, when the panels produce more electricity than you need, the surplus is automatically sold to your designated energy provider.
