How does home solar in Rochester work?

Wonder how solar can work in an overcast region like Rochester? Here’s how it works:

Solar panels capture sunlight:

Solar panels are made of special materials (photovoltaic cells) that absorb the sunlight. We install them on your roof, or in your yard, where we can maximize the size of your solar array for the most sun exposure.

Sunlight is converted to electricity:

Tiny light particles, known as photons, break electrons free from their atoms to create a flow of direct current (DC) electricity.

Powering your home:

The DC electricity is converted to AC (alternating current) electricity through a device called an inverter. As your solar captures sunlight, the converted AC electricity will be used to power your home.

Utility credits:

If your solar panels produce more electricity than you need to power your home, the extra energy is sent to the grid. The utility tracks this excess energy you sent to the grid as credits tied to your account, through a mechanism known as medición neta, which means that the utility owes usted for a change!
