Solar Modules

They are the key components being exposed to the sunlight. Their main objective is to convert the sun energy into usable electricity for your home appliances. Solar modules are to be mounted on a steel frame and placed onto your rooftops during installation.

Power Converter

Power being produced by the solar modules is converted from Direct Current (DC) to Alternative Current (AC) via the power converter. Alternating Current (AC) is known as the usable electrical power that we use to power our appliances.

Utility Electric Meter

If excess amount of electrical power is being generated by the solar system, this excess amount of electrical power will travel into the grid through the utility electric meter. Consequently, the meter will be made to move backwards and this establishes a credit with the utility company in offsetting future usage. This process is known as Net Metering and is mandated by State Level Electricity Policy.
