How Solar Energy Works

  1. 1 Sunlight hits the solar panels.
  2. 2 Direct current (DC) flows from the panels to an inverter that turns it into alternating current (AC).
  3. 3 Transformer increases voltage of electricity.
  4. 4 Electricity travels through transmission lines.
  5. 5 Transformer decreases voltage of electricity.
  6. 6 Electricity travels through collection lines.
  7. 7 Electricity is delivered to customers.
