How Solar PV Systems Work

A solar PV system includes:

  • Solar panels mounted on rooftops or ground frames
  • Inverters that convert DC electricity into usable AC power
  • Optional battery storage for excess energy
  • Grid-connected or off-grid configurations

Electricity generated supplies your property first, reducing reliance on external energy sources.
