Solar panels work by absorbing sunlight with photovoltaic cells, generating direct current energy (DC) and then converting it to usable alternating current (AC) energy with the help of inverter technology. AC energy then flows through the home’s distribution panel to appliances such as stove, heat pump, lamps, and anything else needing energy in your house. Here are the main steps for how solar panels work for your home:

A common question is how your grid connection is affected by the installation of a solar system. Any home that is connected to the electrical grid will have something called a utility meter that your energy provider uses to measure and supply power to your home. When you install solar panels on your roof or on a ground mount on your property, they are connected to your home’s utility meter. It is important to know that you will always have access to grid power in case you need more power than your solar system produces. The switch between grid and solar energy happens automatically.
All homeowners in Switzerland have the possibility of feeding back surplus solar power into the grid when the solar system is overproducing (like during the day in sunny summer months) in exchange for a reimbursement from the local utility company. The amount you will get back depends on the utility company. As a general rule, though, you are payed more or less what it costs to produce the solar power in the case of smaller systems. For medium sized and larger systems, the production costs are usually so low that you make a profit on the fed back solar power.
The components in your solar system works with one another to optimize the usage of solar power. That is, you don't have to switch on or off your solar system in the morning and at night - the system will do this automatically and seamlessly.
You also don't need to switch between solar and grid power - this is also done automatically by your solar system, which is programmed to make sure that if your household needs electricity and the sun is shining, solar power is automatically being consumed before the grid power.

If you want to get even more out of your solar system you can connect additional components that will use the solar power from your roof. This significantly increases your self consumption of solar energy and makes you even less dependent on your utility company.
Some of the most popular devices in your home to connect to the solar systems are heat pumps, and/or hot water boiler. For customer who are planning or already own an e-car, a solar connected charging station will charge your car with the purest energy there is. All these devices get even more out of your solar system when combined with a solar battery. For more information of all the option you have, set up a free appointment with one of our solar experts.
