What to know about solar energy

What to know about solar energy

We’ve developed over 220 energy facilities with the trust of our home communities because we are committed to supporting the areas where we live, work and operate.

How Solar Energy Works

  1. 1 Sunlight hits the solar panels.
  2. 2 Direct current (DC) flows from the panels to an inverter that turns it into alternating current (AC).
  3. 3 Transformer increases voltage of electricity.
  4. 4 Electricity travels through transmission lines.
  5. 5 Transformer decreases voltage of electricity.
  6. 6 Electricity travels through collection lines.
  7. 7 Electricity is delivered to customers.
