Solar panels are made up of photovoltaic cells that convert sunlight into electricity. When sunlight hits a solar panel, it is absorbed by the photovoltaic cells and is converted into direct current (DC) electricity. The DC electricity is then sent to an inverter, which converts it into alternating current (AC) electricity. This AC electricity can be used to power your home or business, or it can be sent back to the grid if you are connected to one.
Here’s a more detailed explanation of how solar panels produce electricity:
Photons in sunlight knock electrons loose from the atoms in the photovoltaic cells, generating a flow of electricity.
The photovoltaic cells are made up of layers of semiconductor materials, usually silicon. When sunlight hits the cell, it creates an electric field across the layers.
The electric field causes the electrons to flow, creating a current. Metal conductive plates on the top and bottom of the cell collect the current and direct it through wires to the inverter.
The inverter converts the DC electricity produced by the solar panel into AC electricity, which is the type of electricity used in homes and businesses.
The AC electricity is then sent to a breaker panel, where it is distributed to the electrical devices in your home or business. Any excess electricity can be sent back to the grid if you are connected to one.
Overall, solar panels use the energy from the sun to produce electricity, which can be used to power your home or business and reduce your reliance on fossil fuels. Continued below…
A solar inverter, also known as a photovoltaic (PV) inverter, converts the direct current (DC) electricity produced by solar panels into alternating current (AC) electricity, which is the type of electricity that is used in most homes and businesses.
Here is how it works:
- The solar panels on the roof of a home or building capture sunlight and convert it into DC electricity.
- The DC electricity is then sent to the solar inverter, which is typically mounted on a suitable wall or in a loft space, maybe in a utility room.
- The inverter converts the DC electricity into AC electricity, which is compatible with the electrical grid and can be used to power appliances and devices in the home or building.
- The AC electricity is then sent to the main electrical panel, also known as the breaker box or fuse box, where it can be distributed to different circuits and outlets throughout the home or building.
Some solar inverters are designed to work with a single solar panel or a small array of panels, while others are designed to work with larger solar systems that have many panels. There are several different types of solar inverters available, including string inverters, microinverters, and central inverters. Each type has its own unique features and benefits, and the best choice for a particular installation will depend on the specific needs and requirements of the system Continued below…
As opposed to a “traditional” inverter, micro – inverters are devices that convert direct current (DC) electricity, which is produced by solar panels, into alternating current (AC) electricity, which is the type of electricity that is used in homes and businesses. They are typically installed in photovoltaic (PV) systems to maximize the efficiency of the system and to allow each solar panel to operate independently.
Here’s how microinverters work:
- Solar panels generate DC electricity when they are exposed to sunlight.
- The DC electricity is sent to the microinverter, which is typically mounted on the back of the solar panel or on a nearby wall.
- The microinverter converts the DC electricity into AC electricity using an electronic circuit.
- The AC electricity is then sent to a distribution panel or an electrical load, such as an appliance or a light.
Microinverters have several benefits over traditional inverters, which are used in most PV systems. For example, microinverters allow each solar panel to operate independently, which can increase the overall efficiency of the system. They also allow for easier maintenance and troubleshooting, as each solar panel can be tested and monitored individually. In addition, microinverters are typically more reliable than traditional inverters, as they have fewer components and are less prone to failure. Continued below…
Solar storage batteries are used to store excess energy produced by solar panels so it can be used at a later time, such as when the sun is not shining or during a power outage. Here’s how they work:
Solar panels absorb sunlight and convert it into direct current (DC) electricity.
The DC electricity is sent to a solar inverter, which converts it into alternating current (AC) electricity that can be used by household appliances.
Any excess solar energy that is not used is sent to a solar storage battery.
The battery stores the excess energy in the form of chemical energy. When the battery is full, it will stop accepting more energy.
When the solar panels are not producing enough energy to meet the demand (e.g., at night or during a power outage), the battery will release the stored energy in the form of AC electricity.
The released energy is then sent to the household’s electrical panel and distributed to appliances as needed.
Solar storage batteries come in a variety of sizes and types, including lead-acid, lithium-ion, and nickel-metal hydride. Each type has its own advantages and disadvantages, such as cost, lifespan, and efficiency.

We Also Install Solar Energy Solutions For Businesses In Birmingham & The West Midlands
Is Solar Power For You?
If you’re like most business owners in the West Midlands, your answer to that question is probably a resounding yes! Solar power can be a constructive and profitable way for businesses to reduce their expenses and even generate extra income. Here are some key reasons why investing in solar might be the right decision for your business:
Solar Battery Storage Birmingham
Solar panel systems have been complemented by solar battery storage solutions, turning this technology into a significantly more efficient source of sustainable energy. That’s because solar batteries store excess (unused) energy generated by the solar system for later use. It is when daylight hours have disappeared or on cloudy days or during power blackouts that solar battery storage solutions come in handy to power your home/office.
As long as your power demands don’t exceed the supply your battery can provide, you can run your home on renewable energy around the clock. In addition to lowering your energy costs, a solar panel battery allows you to become independent from the national grid, thus ensuring energy security for your household. You can even earn money selling the extra stored energy to the grid.
All these benefits seem enticing, but you’re probably wondering how much this cost you. Well, the cost of a solar battery storage system in the West Midlands ranges from £1,200 to £6,000, depending on the type of the battery and brand, its capacity, chemical composite, and lifespan. Another important factor to consider when choosing a solar battery storage system is the Depth of Discharge (DoD), which is how much you can use the battery before recharging. Lithium-ion solar batteries are a popular choice for being cost-effective, compact, and with more capacity. Alternatively, you can go for AC or DC batteries.
