SIMPLICITY – Solar Panel FAQs

Solar panels work on your home by converting photons from the sunlight into direct current, which then flows into your inverter. Afterward, your inverter translates the direct current into alternating current and sends the AC to your electric box to power your home. Your solar energy system is an efficient and affordable way to own your power instead of renting it from the grid.

Solar panels work with grid connections by impacting your energy meter readings. If your home is connected to the grid, then you have an energy meter that measures how much electricity you use. With solar panels, you could potentially reduce your dependence on the grid connection by using stored energy or using net metering credits to lower your bill.

A solar panel inverter converts the direct current that your solar panels generate into alternating current to power your home. Solar inverters are similar to a translator. It translates solar energy into the type of electricity that can be used by your home. Solar inverters are installed with your solar energy system.

The Generac inverters we install communicate with your solar panels via PV Links. Those PV Links allow your panels to communicate with each other and deliver the maximum power under all conditions. If one of your panels is experiencing an issue such as shading, the PV Links allow the rest of your panels to still perform at the highest level.
