Solar Panel
The sun shines on your specifically positioned solar panels generating DC electricity.
Inverter
The energy captured is sent directly to your inverter. This box converts the direct current (DC) electricity captured by solar panels into alternating current (AC), which is what is required for electrical circuits and your domestic appliances
Fuse Box
The AC electricity from the inverter flows into all the circuits in your property supplying all the appliances in your home. Any surplus generation will be used to fill up your battery if you have one.
