How solar panels and batteries work

How solar energy works

Solar panels capture sunlight

Panels convert sunlight into electricity that powers household appliances and can lower energy bills.

Solar batteries store for later

Power generated in the day is stored for use at night, unlocking more value from panels.

Excess energy goes to the grid

You may be eligible for bill credits when you feed excess energy back to the power grid.
