This diagram illustrates the process of a home solar energy system. Sunlight is converted into DC electricity by solar panels (1), then converted to AC electricity by an inverter (2), which powers the home. Excess energy is sent to the utility grid (3), and the electric meter runs backward. The utility company provides power when needed, such as at night (5). Solar energy systems produce high-quality electricity reducing power fluctuations which can damage electronic equipment (4).
