How Does Solar Energy Work? The Ultimate Guide To Solar in 2024

December 05, 20234 min read

Welcome to the Ultimate Guide to Solar Energy in 2024! In this comprehensive guide, we'll take you through the exciting world of solar power and how it's transforming the way we generate and use electricity in the modern era. Discover how solar energy works and why it's a vital solution for a sustainable future. If you're ready to take the first step towards harnessing the power of the sun, click the button at the bottom or side of the page to get started.

8 Reasons

How Does Solar Energy Work in 2024?

When the sun's rays hit a solar panel, cutting-edge photovoltaic (PV) cells absorb this energy. These advanced cells generate electrical charges that respond to an internal electrical field within the panel, resulting in the flow of electricity. The sunlight captured by the solar panels is then directed to an inverter, where it undergoes a transformation from direct current (DC) electricity into alternating current (AC) electricity, ready to power your home or business.

In some cases, your solar panels will generate more energy than you need. The surplus energy can either be stored in a battery for later use or sent back into the power grid, where your utility company may store it for you or even compensate you for the excess energy.

Harnessing solar energy is a crucial step in combating climate change and reducing our reliance on fossil fuels. In 2024, solar power continues to be the world's fastest-growing source of energy, surpassing all other fossil fuels.

How Does a Solar System on My House Work in 2024?

In 2024, a solar system on your house operates seamlessly. Sunlight strikes the solar panels installed on your roof and then travels through an inverter, converting it from DC to AC electricity. During daylight hours, your panels often produce more energy than your immediate consumption, allowing the surplus energy to flow back into your utility's electric grid or be stored in a battery for nighttime use.

A net meter tracks the excess energy generated during the day, potentially earning eligible homeowners credits for energy sent back to the grid. These credits can be used to offset your electric charges, and in some cases, utility companies may even pay homeowners for the surplus energy their solar systems contribute. To learn more about net metering and how it works, read our dedicated article.

Adding a battery to your solar system enhances these benefits even further. With a battery storage system, you can store excess energy on-site, further reducing your reliance on the utility's electricity grid. Plus, having a battery ensures uninterrupted power during outages.

How Do I Save Money with Solar in 2024? The Bill Swap Concept

In 2024, think of solar power as a simple "bill swap." You exchange your traditional electric bill for a locked-in, lower solar payment. Instead of continually paying your utility company for electricity, you invest in your home by making payments for your solar system. These payments can take the form of a lease payment for the panels or a loan payment for your panel purchase. The key benefit? Your solar payment remains consistent as electric rates rise, and it has an end date!

Once your solar panels start generating power, you'll notice a significant reduction in your electricity costs. Typically, homeowners are left with a small monthly fee, often between $8-15, for staying connected to the grid. If you consume more energy than your solar system produces in a given month, you may receive a modest charge from your utility for the additional electricity used.

Here's a real-world example from one of our recent homeowners: They were previously paying an average of $350 per month for electricity. With our help, we designed a solar system that covers over 90% of their energy needs at just $206 per month. Once their solar system activates, their electric bill will likely only range from $10-30 per month. Additionally, this homeowner took advantage of a 26% tax credit on their entire solar system cost, putting thousands of dollars back in their pocket. Learn more about how the solar tax credit works in our dedicated article.
