Solar power works by taking the energy from the sun's rays and converting it into electricity.

The sun's rays contain photons.

When these photons hit a solar module, electrons inside of the solar module move and an electrical current is created.

This electricity then travels from the solar array to an inverter.

The inverter takes the electricity which is in DC or direct current form and switches it to AC or alternating current power.

Once that switch is made to AC, the electricity is ready for household use.

From the inverter, the power is fed directly into the building's main electrical panel and can provide power to the site.

If the site demands more power than what is provided by the solar, it will pull from the utility grid.

If the sun produces more than the site needs, then that overproduction is put back into the grid for a credit in a process known as net metering.

Today's solar panels will be viable energy producers on your home for over 20 years.

There is a federal tax credit available and also incentives available at the state level, which help to make the technology more affordable than ever.

There are even no-money-down solar programs available.
