How Solar Works
Solar (also known as a photovoltaic cell or PV) systems harness the energy of the sun and convert it to electrical energy. A solar cell or photovoltaic cell is made of special materials called semiconductors. The most common semiconductor material used to manufacture a solar cell is known as silicon. So in a typical solar system, the sun’s rays are collected/absorbed by numerous the solar cells contained within a solar panel and converted to DC electricity by the solar cells. The solar panels are then connected to an inverter that converts the DC electricity to AC power for use in your home or business.
Your residential or commercial system is then tied to the utility system’s “grid” so that you can purchase power from the utility company at night, or when you consume more electricity than your solar system produces. When your solar system generates more electricity than your home or business can consume, you can sell the excess electricity to the utility company through a program called “net-metering” and earn, in exchange, Solar Renewable Energy Certificates (SRECs).
By utilizing solar energy, you are saving money and saving the planet! It has been estimated that by generating free energy from the sun, solar systems reduce over 7 million pounds of carbon emissions every year --- which is approximately the equivalent of reducing driving by over 9 million miles! Supporting solar and other clean energies helps to shape the future of our world's energy, health, environment and the lives of our children. At QE Solar, your New Jersey Solar O&M Contractor, our passion is clean energy and we believe that solar energy can make an important contribution to a cleaner, safer, and more sustainable world for everyone!
