How Does Solar Work?
Learn More from Our San Diego Solar Experts
In spite of the engineering ingenuity built into a photovoltaic energy system, the process of converting the sun's rays into usable energy is a relatively simple concept.
Solar Panels
The solar panels collect the sun's rays and store the sunlight's energy. This energy is then sent from the solar panels to the inverter.
Inverter
The inverter converts the incoming energy from the solar panels into a form of energy your home can utilize. This usable energy is then sent to your electrical meter.
Electric Meter
The electric meter connects your solar system to the utility company which provides your Southern California home with energy. When your solar panels generate more electricity than you are using, the meter will spin backwards to give you credit with the utility company. This credit can be drawn upon at night or on cloudy days.
Monitoring
When you go solar with California Premier Solar Construction, our San Diego solar experts will install a production monitoring system for you to track your production each and every day to make sure you are receiving the power guaranteed to you. Some of our monitoring systems come not only with a web interface, but with an iPhone and iPad application.

Why California Premier Solar Construction Is the Smart Choice for Your Solar
- Good for Your Electrical Costs Our clients notice a drastic reduction on their energy bills when they switch to solar. Many see a return on investments within a year. Systems typically provide 15-20% savings on their utility bill which can add up to $30,000 or more over the course of 20 years. There are significant savings available when your home depends more on your own electrical energy and less on your local utility.
- Good for Your Home Value Studies show that solar panels add value and help your home sell faster, often in half the time! Homes with an average system size of 3.1 kW sold for approximately $17,000 more than non-solar homes. Homeowners understand the importance of energy costs and are eager to purchase a home with existing lower energy bills. If you have a solar lease, transferring to the new homeowner is simple.
- Good for the Environment Traditional electricity is powered by fossil fuel and purchased from companies that burn coal, natural gas, or petroleum. A home that produces enough solar energy to cover all or most of their electrical needs will help offset their carbon footprint and become part of the solution to the problem. An average photovoltaic system greatly reduces carbon footprint and emissions equivalents.
