How Does Solar Work.

Solar Discovery

In 1846, people discovered a means to begin harnessing this energy. When a few really intelligent and creative individuals found that selenium produced electricity when exposed to sunshine. Back then, technology was at best primitive, but it was nonetheless a game-changer. It demonstrated that sunlight can be converted to energy; the proverbial lightbulb moment.

How Does Solar Work?

It's really not that hard. First, the energy from the sun is soaked up by the photovoltaic, or PV, cells that cover our solar panels. The next thing that happens might look like magic, but it's all science. Photons, which are tiny bits of light, knock electrons out of their atoms. This makes a flow of direct current (DC), which is then changed into alternating current (AC), which can be used to power your home.

Where does all that Solar Energy go?

After meeting your home's energy demands, excess energy is returned to the utility system and credited to you. Thus, if your solar system generates more electricity than you need, the utility company will reduce your cost. In Texas & Florida "winter" months, you'll send more energy back to the grid as credits. The "winter" credits will offset summer bills. Net metering sweetens the deal. Nice, huh?

Elite Solar Installs really stood out to us being a company that was actually based in Texas state instead of most of the other companies who contacted us to lease our land who are in Texas.
