How Solar Technology Works for Homes

Modern systems combine three key components:

  1. Photovoltaic panels converting sunlight to DC electricity
  2. Inverters transforming DC to usable AC power
  3. Battery storage (optional) for nighttime usage
"The average homeowner breaks even on solar investments within 6-8 years, with pure savings afterward." - National Renewable Energy Laboratory

Real-World Success Story: The Johnson Family

After installing a 7.2 kW system in Austin, Texas:
