How Does Solar Power Work?

To better understand the benefits of solar power, first let’s take a look at how you currently power your home.

Your electricity travels a long way before it gets to your home, which is why it’s so expensive. There’s a lot of maintenance needed on a lot of buildings, towers, wires and infrastructure, making it inefficient and outdated.And that’s why your electric bills keep steadily climbing – someone has to pay for it all. What you’re basically doing is renting your power, which keeps you completely dependent on your utility company.

Now, let’s look at how solar power is produced. In the diagram below, you will see that there is very little to maintain with solar.

With solar energy, you’re cutting out the middle man, and you own your own power. As long as the sun keeps rising every day, you’ll have power for your home and you never have to worry about a rate increase.
