1. Sunlight is absorbed by solar panel modules which convert the light energy into DC electricity.
2. A micro-inverter coverts the DC electricity into AC electricity just as you would receive from your utility provider.
3. From the micro-inverter the electricity flows through the electric meter. If the consumer uses less energy than is being generated, the extra power flows out onto the grid. The electric meter will actually run in reverse at this point and the consumer is essentially selling electricity back to the utility company. At night, when more electricity is being used than is being produced, the grid supplies the surplus of electricity needed. The consumer only pays for the net amount of electricity used.
