What is Rooftop Solar?

Rooftop solar refers to solar panels installed on the roofs of homes. These panels convert sunlight into electricity using a process called the photovoltaic effect. When sunlight hits the photovoltaic (PV) cells in the solar panels, it generates direct current (DC) electricity. 

How Does It Work?

To make this electricity usable in your home, an AC combiner box converts the DC power into alternating current (AC) power. This AC electricity is then fed into your home's electrical system. 

The Role of the Bidirectional Meter

One of the best features of rooftop solar systems is the bidirectional meter. This nifty device measures the electricity flowing in and out of your home. Here’s how it works:

- Supplying Power: 

The electricity generated from your solar panels powers your home.

- Exporting Excess Power: 

If your system produces more electricity than you need, the excess can be exported back to the grid, often earning you credits on your electricity bill.

- Importing Power:

On days when your solar system doesn’t generate enough power, you can still draw electricity from the grid.

Why Choose Rooftop Solar?

1. Save on Electricity Bills

Investing in rooftop solar can significantly reduce your electricity bills. With the rising cost of energy, this is a smart move for homeowners.

2. Environmentally Friendly

Switching to solar energy means you're using a renewable resource, reducing your carbon footprint, and helping to combat climate change.

3. Utilize Idle Space

Your rooftop is often underutilized. Why not turn that space into a source of income and energy savings?

4. Increased Property Value

Homes with solar installations can attract more buyers and often sell at higher prices.
