Call now!  Sunlight Photon hit the solar panels  Panels convert these Photons into electrons  More energy is produced in more sunlight How Solar Works © 2012 American Solar Electric. All rights reserved. (480) today!

Call now!  Transfer Electrons to inverter  Convert “DC” power to “AC” power  Use AC power in the home for running electronic equipment and appliances How Solar Works © 2012 American Solar Electric. All rights reserved. (480) today!

Call now! How Solar Works with Grid-Connected Systems  Net metering is used to track power  Excess energy not used by your household will be routed to your utility through the meter and credited to your account  You can tap into this credit when energy isn’t being produced – like when it’s cloudy or at night How Solar Works © 2012 American Solar Electric. All rights reserved. (480) today!

Call now! Net metering  Virtual back-up system  With a grid-connected system, you get the best of both worlds:  Low-cost solar energy produced by your system with any excess being “sold” back to the utility;  Access to power from your utility whenever you need it. How Solar Works © 2012 American Solar Electric. All rights reserved. (480) today!

Call now! Grid-connected installations  Meter runs backwards when you’re producing energy!  You only get charged for electricity from your utility when you exhaust your net metering credits. How Solar Works © 2012 American Solar Electric. All rights reserved. (480) today!

Call now! Off-grid systems are not typical How Solar Works © 2012 American Solar Electric. All rights reserved. (480) today!

Call now! How Solar Works Without Batteries  A grid-connected system does not require battery use or have battery-related expenses  An off-grid system requires batteries to store energy and provide it when the sun isn’t shining  If you’re located close to a utility, the best option is to invest in a grid-connected system How Solar Works © 2012 American Solar Electric. All rights reserved. (480) today!

Call now! How Solar Works with Utility Billing  When your solar system is producing energy and you’re using that energy to power your home, you won’t be billed from the utility  You get credited for all the unused energy your system sends back to the utility!
