1.  The sun shines.

2.  Solar panels turn sunlight into DC (direct current) electricity.

3.  The inverter converts DC current into AC (alternating current) power for business or residential use.

4.  The solar system has an interconnection point to the grid and the meter measures the energy from the solar array and the building load. It spins backwards, giving you a one-to-one credit for electricity produced, but not used.

5.  Your business saves money!
