The illustration displays information about how solar panels can provide electricity to houses.
Overall, there are five stages in this linear process. It begins with the absorption of energy from the sun and ends with electricity provided to houses when the electricty produced by solar panels is not enough.
First of all, solar panels, located on the roof of the houses, absorb energy from the sun and turn it into DC current. Then, converters convert this current into AC current while controling the electricty and its production. After that, an electrical panel distributes the electricity to the entire house.
When there is too much production of electricity a utility meter is used. This allows that excess solar electricity flows back to the grid. On the other hand, there is an utility grid which provides electricity when the demand of electricity in a house exceed the amount produced by its own solar panels.
