HOW IT WORKS

How Plug-In Solar Powers Your Home

Solar panels plug into a standard outlet, feeding power directly into your home. Your appliances automatically use solar first—so you draw less from the grid and save more.

01

The sun shines on solar panels, generating direct current (DC) electricity.

02

Microinverter converts DC to Alternative Current (AC), which powers the home. 

03

AC power flows into your home's electrical circuit through the standard wall outlet. 

04

Home uses the clean energy first, offsetting what would have been pulled from the grid. 

SOLAR OPTIONS

Plug-In or Rooftop Solar

Rooftop systems are an excellent choice if your home and budget allow. If not, plug-in solar makes it simple to start producing your own energy and gain more control over your power and electric bill.
