Harnessing the Sun’s Energy to Generate Your Own Electricity

Solar has come a long way since 1954 when the first solar cell was created. Yet the basic principles of solar technology remain the same. Solar cells are made of thin layers of silicon. When sunlight strikes the cells, chemical reactions release electrons, generating electric current. Individual cells are grouped together to form solar modules which, when installed on the roof or ground as a component of a complete solar system, generate electricity.

	Yes, You can spin your electric meter backwards too! Legally!

How It Works

The four basic components of a residential solar system are (1) rooftop solar modules, (2) an inverter, (3) an in-home solar power monitor, and (4) an electric meter. Sharp solar modules collect the sun’s energy and convert it into electricity. Based on your electricity requirements the appropriate number of modules are connected to form a rooftop array. The inverter converts the electricity from direct current (DC) to alternating current (AC) for use in the home. The monitor lets you view the status of your system and its performance, while the standard electric meter displays net power usage. Trim, industry-standard mounting hardware and wiring complete the system, all designed to work together flawlessly and efficiently. Combined with professional installation from Solahart All Valley Energy Systems, a Sharp solar system is designed to provide you with decades of clean, reliable energy.
