Solar panels convert sunlight into electricity through photovoltaic cells, where sunlight knocks electrons free from atoms, creating an electrical current that flows through the panel; this direct current (DC) electricity is then converted to alternating current (AC) for home use, enabling the sun to power entire homes.

How solar panels workAdded:
Ever wonder how sunlight turns into electricity?
It all starts with a solar panel.
When sunlight hits the panel, it knocks electrons free, creating a flow of energy.
This energy is converted from DC to AC, the type of electricity your home uses.
And just like that, the sun powers your entire home.
