Sunlight is naturally replenished and solar electricity produces no direct greenhouse-gas emissions during operation.
Generating electricity on-site can reduce reliance on grid power and may lower long-term electricity expenses.
Solar panels paired with batteries can help homes and businesses generate and store their own electricity.
From sunlight to usable electricity in four simple steps.
Solar panels absorb sunlight using photovoltaic cells.
Photovoltaic cells produce direct-current electricity.
An inverter converts DC electricity into AC electricity for everyday use.
Your home or business uses the electricity, while batteries or the grid can provide backup.
Better technology, smarter storage, and wider adoption are helping renewable energy become an increasingly important part of the global energy system.
