Solar Power Basics

How Does It Work?

Step 1. Light!

1.The Sun Shines

First, you need sunshine!!

Actually, solar panels will still work
when it’s cloudy.

All they need is light…

Step 2. DC Electricity.

2. DC

Solar panels convert light
Into DC electricity.

DC electricity all moves in
one direction – it stands for
Direct Current.

Unfortunately, your
Household appliances
can’t use this type of
electricity.

Step 3. AC Electricity.

3. AC

A device called an

INVERTER

Converts DC electricity
To AC electricity.

AC stands for
Alternating Current.

It means the electricity changes
direction, 50 times per second.

This is the type of electricity you
get from Western Power, and
the type of electricity used by
appliances in your home.

Step 4. Power your Home!

4PowerHome

All electricity produced by
your Solar Power System
will power your home.

Your fridge, washing
machine, dishwasher,
air conditioner, etc.
will all run off solar
power instead of buying
power from the grid,
for as long as
there is enough light.

Step 5. Export to the Grid.

When your system is producing more power than you are using in your home...
The EXCESS will be SOLD to the GRID.

Step 6. Sit back and Relax.

There’s nothing you need to do!
Your solar power system will automatically supply energy to your home first, and then export to the grid when enough power is available.
