How Solar Panels Generate Electricity for Homes and the Grid #1962271 (License: Personal Use)

This infographic illustrates the complete flow of solar energy in a typical home photovoltaic (PV) system: sunlight hits the PV array on the roof, generating direct current (DC) electricity that passes through an inverter to become alternating current (AC) for household use. Excess electricity is measured by a bidirectional meter and either exported to the utility grid or drawn from it when solar production is insufficient. Key components labeled include the PV array, inverter, meter, and grid connection points.
