Millions of people use EnergySage each year to research and shop for solar through our network of pre-screened, local installers. We'll spare you from the nitty-gritty of how semi-conductive materials create electricity through the photovoltaic effect. In short, when a solar panel absorbs sunlight, it generates direct current (DC) electricity.
However, the electricity that comes out of the outlets in your home or business is alternating current (AC). To match this, when you go solar, you'll also need a solar inverter to convert DC electricity from your solar panels into usable AC electricity to power your home or business. Most people can save tens of thousands of dollars on electricity costs over the lifetime of a solar panel system (25+ years).
The exact amount you can save depends on many factors, including how much you spend on electricity bills, how much electricity your solar panel system generates, incentives available in your area, and more. The best way to get accurate savings estimates is to compare custom solar quotes on our Marketplace - your quotes will take all these factors and more into account.
