Solar energy uses the sun’s rays to turn light energy into electricity.
Photons, or electromagnetic particles from the sun, hit the solar panels and shift the electrons in the solar cells of the panels. This movement creates an electric current. The direct current (DC) is then put through an inverter and becomes an alternating current (AC). The converted current moves to the utility grid where the electricity is then distributed.
The energy produced on Apricus’ solar farms is used in a multitude of ways once it hits the grid. Families, businesses, and the government all use our solar energy to power their activities. Commercial and community solar allows this sharing of electricity to occur.
