Generating electricity through photovoltaic cells
At its core, solar power generates electricity through photovoltaic cells. These cells, harnessed within solar panels and inverters, transform sunlight into usable energy. This energy can either power your needs during the day or be stored in batteries for nighttime or cloudy days. As most panels are fixed atop rooftops, their optimal arrangement is crucial for extracting maximum efficiency.

FAQ
On a global and South African scale, solar electricity costs have been dropping, in contrast to the escalating expenses of traditional municipal electricity, often supplied by Eskom. This shift in economics renders domestic solar power systems, including solar water heaters, financially savvy choices.
Photovoltaic panels can use direct or indirect sunlight to generate power, though they are most effective in direct sunlight. Solar panels will still work even when the light is reflected or partially blocked by clouds.
The expectation is a production level of 10-25% of their normal power output, depending on how thick the cloud cover is.
Solar power works through photovoltaic (PV) technology, where solar panels capture sunlight and convert it into electricity using semiconductor materials.
It's a renewable and sustainable source, reducing reliance on fossil fuels and decreasing greenhouse gas emissions. It also helps lower electricity bills, creates jobs in the solar industry, and can increase the value of properties with solar installations.
So how does it work?
Solar technology converts sunlight into electrical energy through photovoltaic (PV) panels that concentrate solar radiation. This energy can be stored in batteries to be used when there is no sunlight.
Sunlight activates the solar panels, which absorb sunlight and produce direct current (DC) electricity.
The AC electricity flows through your distribution panel to power your appliances, replacing the need for municipal electricity.
If the solar panels or batteries don't provide sufficient power, your system will automatically switch to the municipal power supply.
