History of Power
“Since the invention of the light bulb, power has been big business. Centralized utilities have dominated the landscape since the very beginning, and onerous laws and regulations have allowed them
virtual monopolies for over 100 years.”
How Solar Works
A solar inverter takes the DC electricity and converts it to alternating current (AC) which can be used to power a building.
The sun bathes the earth with enough energy in one hour to satisfy the entire world’s energy needs for a year!

The AC power is directed from the inverter into the building’s electrical panel. The utility tracks the net energy produced with the utility electric meter.
