How home solar works, in short

  • Panels on your roof make power from daylight, and an inverter turns it into the power your home uses.
  • Your home uses solar power first. Extra goes to the grid or a battery, credited under your utility's rules.
  • At night and on cloudy days you draw from the grid as usual, so you still get a (usually smaller) power bill.
  • Cost depends on the roof, shade, usage, equipment and whether you buy, finance or lease.
