Grid-Connected Solar Electric Systems
Solar Panels Also referred to as PV panels or modules. PV is short for photo-voltaic (light-powered). A group of PV panels is called an array.
Mounting Rack This is a metal support structure that holds an array of solar panels in a tilted position facing the sun. Some even track the sun.
Inverter PV panels produce "DC" power that is different than the "AC" utility line power. Inverters accept solar electricity on one side and emit "AC" electricity on the other electricity that is useful to the utility grid.
The utility meter will track the amount of solar power produced, giving you credit for what you produce. These systems are actually designed to make your meter spin backwards! It's no secret, just ask us how at Plan It Solar!
