Solar PV - How it works?

Solar energy is that produced by the Sun’s light – photovoltaic energy – for the generation of electricity. Inexhaustible and renewable, since it comes from the Sun, solar energy is harnessed using panels made of solar cells.
Photovoltaic solar cells convert sunlight directly into electricity by the photovoltaic effect, by which certain materials are able to absorb photons (light particles) and liberate electrons, generating an electric current.
The DC electricity is supplied to an inverter, which will convert this DC power into alternating current (AC). This AC power is the type of electricity which is used for the electric appliances in your home, also referred to as AC load.
