How Solar Works
This is how we make going solar simple
1. Solar Panels Collect Sunlight
Every Solar Panel used in the Unicity install process are made up of photovoltaic (PV) Cells. When the sunlight hits your solar panels, the PV cells produce
2. Power is Converted into Usable Electricity
On the back of each solar panel is a micro-inverter. The Micro-Inverter converts DC electricity into “Alternating Current” (AC) electricity needed to power your home.
3. Electricity Flows into Your Net Meter
Usable electricity flows from the panels into the net meter. The net meter is just like a standard utility meter, but it measures the electricity you’re drawing from the grid, and the excess electricity your solar panels are producing and sending into the grid.
4. Use the Electricity Produced by the Sun
After flowing through the net meter, electricity is distributed into your home to power items like your refrigerator, air conditioner, and other appliances. If your solar panels don’t produce enough energy for your needs, additional power is drawn from the grid.

Solar Tax Benefits
Thanks to the Solar Investment Tax Credit (ITC), you can potentially receive a 30% federal tax credit. The Tax Credit will continue to decrease each year so now’s the best time for solar.
This is money that can apply back into your solar loan program, or pocket the credit for other expenses. The choice is yours.
