How Home Solar Power Systems Work - Illustrated Guide #1421421 (License: Personal Use)

This educational illustration depicts a grid-connected solar photovoltaic system on a north-facing home, where sunlight captured by the rooftop solar array is converted from DC to AC via a DC-AC inverter. Green arrows trace the flow of electricity through isolators and a bi-directional utility meter, showing both consumption from and surplus export to the grid. The diagram emphasizes safety components and system integration for net metering.

Used on solar energy education pages, homeowner guides, or utility company resources to explain how grid-tied PV systems operate; matches user intent to understand solar installation basics, energy flow, and net metering.
