Photovoltaics (PV), or solar power, is used to convert
the sun’s energy directly to electricity. From single cells used to power calculators to multi megawatt solar farms, PV has numerous uses in the modern world. In recent years the cost of PV has decreased
dramatically, so much so, it is competitive with nonrenewable energy sources like oil and coal.
The most cost effective PV system is one that is Grid Tied using a battery-less inverter system to process the energy. A group, or Array, of PV panels
are connected together in sub groups or strings.
These strings or groups are all connected together in a Combiner Box which is located near the Array.
The DC electricity from the PV panels flows through Combiner Box to the Inverter. At the Inverter the DC is  converted to AC electricity which is normal household power. The AC electricity them goes
to a safety switch for the utility located outside near the power meter. From there it goes to the main electrical panel. Once in the electrical panel the electricity is used by the loads connected to the panel to power lights or appliances. Any extra electricity that is not used in the panel is pushed out
or “sold” to the utility grid. New electronic power meters that read power flow coming and going track
the energy sold to the utility.
