The Science Behind Solar Energy

Solar panels work by generating electricity when sunlight hits photovoltaic (PV) cells, knocking electrons free from atoms and creating an electric current. This is known as the photovoltaic effect, and it powers the majority of solar technology used in residential and commercial systems. Solar power primarily uses photovoltaics (PV) to convert the sun's energy into usable electricity, while concentrating solar-thermal power (CSP) uses mirrors to focus sunlight to produce heat.

Why Go Solar?

Benefits of Going Solar:

• Predictable Energy Costs: Unlike traditional energy costs that fluctuate due to changes in fuel prices, your energy costs are predictable and pre-purchased, allowing you to budget with confidence.
• Increase in Home Value: On top of the savings from bill credits and tax incentives, a solar system can increase your home’s value by an average of $15,000, based on the retail cost of the system.
• Environmentally Friendly: Going solar helps reduce your carbon footprint by minimizing greenhouse gases and pollutants released into the atmosphere. Solar energy does not require water or produce harmful emissions.
• Net Metering: Even with solar panels, you remain connected to the grid. Excess electricity produced by your panels is stored in the grid, and utilities offer net metering, which allows you to earn credits for energy sent back. Learn more about Net Metering in Illinois.

Disclaimer: Payment for excess electricity is not guaranteed and depends on your utility’s net metering program. Contact your utility for further details.

How Do Solar Panels Generate Electricity for Your Home?

1. Photovoltaic Cells Absorb Sunlight: The PV cells in your solar panels absorb sunlight, converting it into DC electricity through the photovoltaic effect.
2. DC to AC Conversion with Solar Inverters: The DC electricity produced by your panels is converted into AC electricity through a solar inverter, which powers most home appliances. Some systems use microinverters for even more efficient energy conversion.
3. Electricity Powers Your Home: The converted AC electricity is transferred to your home’s electrical panel, distributing energy to your devices and outlets.
4. Excess Electricity to the Grid: With a grid-tied system, any excess energy produced by your solar panels is sent back to the grid, earning you credits through net metering.
5. Performance in Snowy Climates: Wondering how solar panels perform in snowy climates? Proper installation and maintenance ensure solar panels remain an efficient renewable energy source, even in winter. Read more in our blog about solar panels in snowy climates.
