Solar panels generate direct current (DC) electricity.
This DC electricity is then converted to alternating current (AC) by an inverter before it can be used to power most household appliances or be sent to the electrical grid.
Here's a more detailed explanation:
DC Electricity:
Solar panels, also known as photovoltaic (PV) panels, work by converting sunlight into DC electricity. In DC, the electrical current flows in one direction.
AC Electricity:
Most homes and the electrical grid use alternating current (AC). In AC, the electrical current periodically reverses direction.
Inverters:
An inverter is a device that takes the DC electricity produced by solar panels and converts it into AC electricity.
This conversion is necessary because most household appliances and the electrical grid are designed to use AC power.
