This installment of the Solar PV Basics 101 series looks at how a solar photovoltaic system works, the basics, and how the process works for the customer.
Customer Service
Learn how solar power works, from the photovoltaic effect to AC conversion, with clear explanations of clean, renewable solar energy and panel technology.
Customer Service
In a nutshell, solar panels generate electricity when photons (those particles of sunlight we discussed before) hit solar cells. The process is called the photovoltaic effect.
