How Does Solar Work
Solar panels allow your home to generate electricity using energy from the sun which helps reduce your reliance on the grid and lower your energy bills.
1
Solar panels capture sunlight
Solar panels are installed on your roof, where they absorb daylight and convert it into electricity.
2
Electricity is converted for your home
The energy produced is converted into usable electricity for your home through an inverter, so it can power your appliances.
3
Your home uses the energy first
Any electricity your system generates is used in your home first, helping reduce how much you need to buy from your energy supplier.
4
Store or export excess energy
If your system produces more energy than you need it can be stored in a battery for later use or exported back to the grid.
5
Reduce your energy bills
By generating your own electricity, you rely less on the grid which helps protect you from rising energy costs.
Why more homeowners are choosing solar?
Simple, effective, and tailored to your home. Every solar system is designed specifically for your property, ensuring you get the most from your installation.

Essential components
Solar panels generate electricity from daylight and allow homeowners to use more of their own energy, rather than relying entirely on the grid.
Solar Panels
Convert daylight into electricity. They are made up of photovoltaic cells, which capture energy from the sun and turn it into direct current electricity.
Inverter
Converts the direct current into alternating current so it can be used by appliances in the home.
Battery Storage
Stores excess electricity produced by the solar panels which helps homeowners avoid purchasing electricity at peak rates leading to lower energy bills.
