Traveling around Fort Myers, I often find the questions about solar electric systems very basic. I created this graphic to demonstrate in a simple way how solar electricity works.
Sometimes I forget that everyone doesn’t know this stuff!
The basic premise with a utility-interactive solar electric system is that you purchase electricity from the utility company when you need it, and you send electricity back when you don’t. Whenever your home is using less electricity than the solar panels are producing, you send electricity back to the grid for your neighbors to use!
Great graphic, I will send that link to my customers who need some explanation.
