The Beginner’s Guide to Solar Energy

Switching to solar energy is one of the smartest choices you can make for your home, your wallet, and the planet. But if you’re new to the world of solar, the technology, benefits, and installation process can feel overwhelming. This guide will walk you through the basics of solar energy so you can make informed decisions with confidence.

Understanding How Solar Energy Works

At its core, solar energy is the process of capturing sunlight and turning it into usable electricity. Solar panels, made up of photovoltaic (PV) cells, absorb sunlight and convert it into direct current (DC) electricity. An inverter then changes this DC electricity into alternating current (AC), which powers your home appliances.

Solar energy is clean, renewable, and abundant—making it a key solution for reducing dependence on fossil fuels and cutting greenhouse gas emissions.
