1. During the day, solar panels turn sun rays into energy.
2. The solar energy travels through your inverter to make the energy usable for your home.
3. Your solar energy powers your home.
4. Excess solar energy will charge your battery or be sent to your utility for net metering, if eligible. Your battery will be charged before any solar energy goes to your utility.
Your nighttime power will depend on your battery configuration. You’ll likely be using a combination of battery energy and grid electricity.
