Here, the direct current (DC) is chopped up into alternating current (AC) that you can use in your home.<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"502\" height=\"461\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youlumiled.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/113017.png\" alt=\"solar inverter\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<h3>THE POWER<\/h3>\n<h4>Lights On, Lights Off<\/h4>\n<p>Once the power is inverted into AC, it travels to your electrical panel and goes on to feed any appliances, devices, or lights you have on in your house. You are now powered with solar!<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"510\" height=\"462\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youlumiled.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/113018.png\" alt=\"solar street lights\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<h3>THE METER<\/h3>\n<h4>Roll Back The Meter, Roll In The Savings<\/h4>\n<p>On those days where your panels are soaking in the rays but you are not home to use the energy they produce, power is fed back to the utility company, and this is the magical moment when your meter starts spinning backwards. Your utility calls that \u201cnet-metering,\u201d but our customers like to call it \u201cthe giggle factor.\u201d And whenever your meter is rolling back, so is the balance on your utility bill!<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"507\" height=\"462\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youlumiled.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/113019.png\" alt=\"solar light pole\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<h3>THE GRID<\/h3>\n<h4>The Power Finds A New Home<\/h4>\n<p>This excess power that spins your meter backwards leaves through the utility lines and travels to a home nearby requiring power. Your clean energy not only meets your own needs and saves you money, but it also helps to meet power needs elsewhere on the grid. It\u2019s all thanks to you\u2026and the sun!<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"509\" height=\"462\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youlumiled.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/113020.png\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p>So, how does solar energy work? The solar panels at your home or business will collect sunlight and generate DC power that will be inverted into AC power. You can use that power in your home, and whatever you don\u2019t use will earn you energy credits and travel to another home that needs it. Now that you\u2019re familiar with the solar energy generation process, make the call \uff08+8618079773597\uff09and start using renewable electricity yourself!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As you consider powering your home or business with renewable energy, your first question is: just how does solar energy work?
