Home solutions – how they work
BP Solar residential solar systems allow you to generate clean, renewable electricity at home, reducing your utility bills for years to come. Although the technology is complex, systems are simple to install and maintain
When sunlight shines onto solar modules, our advanced technology transforms the light into direct current (DC) electricity .Inverters will then convert DC electricity to alternating current (AC) electricity that is used in your home.
During the day, if your BP Solar Home Solutions®
system produces more electricity than is used in your home, the extra electricity produced is fed into the utility grid, generating a credit on your electric bill. When this happens, you'll be able to see your utility meter actually spin backwards!
At night, electricity is automatically drawn from the grid to provide your home with the power you need.
As the diagram above illustrates, the major system components include: solar module on the roof, the inverter and utility meter in the garage, the system monitor on a wall in the house and of course a light that simulates electricity at work.
