Simply put, a solar panel works by allowing photons, or particles of light, to knock electrons free from atoms, generating a flow of electricity. Solar panels are comprised of many smaller units called photovoltaic cells. (Photovoltaic means they convert sunlight into electricity.) Many cells linked together make up a solar panel. The DC power they produce is converted by the micro-inverter attached to each panel into AC power that can be used to power your home.
