How Solar Works
Impulse Solar Power Systems convert sunlight into electricity using solar panels mounted on your roof. They work when the sun is shining, helping to lower power bills and save the environment by reducing greenhouse gas emissions from your home. Excess electricity from your solar panels can then be fed back into the grid - saving you money via feed in tariffs!
- Step 1:
- Sunlight hits the solar panel array and is absorbed into the silicon cells. Impulse Systems are modular so the solar array can be upgraded in the future.
- Step 2:
- The electrons produced form a direct current (DC) and move from the solar array into the inverter. The inverter converts the electricity into an alternating current (AC) - this is the exact same kind of power that you normally receive from the grid.
- Step 3:
- Impulse Solar Panels give you the ability to slow, stop or even move your utility meter backwards depending upon the time of day, the size of your system and the load.
- Step 4:
- The generated AC power is available for use in your home to power everyday electrical items.
- Step 5:
- Any excess power is fed back into the grid, this effectively causes your electricity meter to run backwards and saves you money.
