What is Solar PV or Photovoltaic?

PV is short for Photovoltaic

 

  • Photo – similar to the Photosynthesis process plants use to make food AKA energy
  • Voltaic – Volt being the key word here our method of measuring the amount of energy being produced by a solar module

We then take this Photovoltaic energy and run it through an inverter that converts and/or regulates the energy flow rate to that of standard utility grade power which can feed your house load and push unneeded energy back to the grid to earn you a credit on your bill.
