Solar Panels Generate Electricity - Solar panels installed on your rooftop convert sunlight into DC electricity.
Inverter Converts DC to AC - The on-grid solar inverter converts the DC electricity from the panels into AC electricity suitable for your home's appliances.
Solar Power Runs Your Home - The generated solar electricity is supplied to your home's loads such as fans, lights, refrigerators, pumps and other appliances.
Excess Power Goes to the Grid - If your solar system produces more electricity than your home is consuming, the surplus electricity is exported to the electricity grid through the net meter.
Grid Supplies Additional Power - When your home's demand is higher than solar generation—for example, at night or during cloudy conditions—the required electricity is automatically imported from the grid.
Net Metering Records Energy - The net meter records:
Electricity imported from the grid
Electricity exported to the grid
Your electricity bill is then calculated according to the applicable net metering/billing regulations.
