Solar panels produce electricity known as photovoltaic energy (PV), also known as solar electricity. A solar electric system consists of an array of panels that generate DC electricity, an inverter that converts the DC current into usable AC electricity, and, optionally, a battery to store unused energy. A solar electric system produces electricity with no noise, no air pollution, and no moving parts while using a clean, renewable resource—the sun. It will lower or offset, altogether, your reliance on the grid.
