Modern solar panels generate energy through photovoltaics, a renewable method that uses solar radiation to produce electricity. Each panel is made up of multiple solar cells. These small cells contain two layers of semiconducting silicon -- one negatively charged layer, and one positively charged layer. When sunlight strikes the cells, electrons are knocked loose and drawn into an electrical current. This electrical current is what generates power in a solar panel system.
Before the power generated by a solar system can be used in a home or commercial building, it must be converted into an alternating current (AC). Solar panel systems are connected to an inverter that converts direct current (DC) into AC. This current is then fed into your home, powering your lights and all other electrical appliances. SunPower by Custom Energy is one of the only solar companies in Utah that uses microinverters, enhancing the efficiency and energy production of each solar panel.

How Solar Panels Save You Money
The cost of energy has steadily risen in the past decade and this trend will only continue. If your home or business is reliant on the electrical grid, you are locked into these rising costs. Going solar can mean big savings, with either a substantial reduction in or complete elimination of electricity bills.
There are a few factors that affect the amount of money you can save by installing a solar panel system, but the difference will always be substantial. By installing solar panels on your home or business, you can reduce costs and become energy independent. Solar power is natural, renewable and abundantly available. SunPower by Custom Energy is the Utah solar company that can help you take advantage of this reliable power source.
