How Solar Works

Solar power is a simple yet powerful way to harness the energy of the sun and turn it into clean, reliable electricity. At Ramco Renewables, we make understanding the process easy so you can feel confident in your choice to go solar.

How Solar Energy Works

Step 1: Capturing Sunlight

Solar panels, also known as photovoltaic (PV) modules, are installed on your property to capture sunlight. These panels are made of materials that convert sunlight into direct current (DC) electricity. Northern Alberta’s abundant sunlight, even on cloudy days, provides a consistent energy source for your system.

Step 2: Converting Energy with Inverters

The DC electricity generated by the panels is sent to an inverter, which converts it into alternating current (AC) electricity—the type of power used in your home, farm, or business. At Ramco Renewables, we use reliable inverters tailored to your system’s needs to ensure efficient energy conversion.

Step 3: Powering Your Property

The AC electricity flows into your electrical system, providing power to your lights, appliances, and equipment. Any excess electricity generated can either be stored in a battery backup system or sent back to the grid, depending on your setup.

Step 4: Storing Excess Energy (Optional)

For properties with battery backup systems, excess energy is stored for later use, such as during the evening or during outages. This step enhances energy independence and ensures uninterrupted power when you need it most.

Step 5: Selling Excess Power Back to the Grid

If your solar system generates more electricity than your property uses, the excess power can be sent back to the electrical grid through a process called micro-generation. In exchange, you receive credits on your utility bill, reducing your overall energy costs even further. Ramco Renewables ensures your system is set up for seamless integration with the grid, so you can take full advantage of this benefit and maximize your savings.

Step 6: Monitoring and Performance

Modern solar systems come with monitoring platforms that allow you to track energy production in real-time. During installation, Ramco Renewables will guide you through using the monitoring tools so you can see how your system is performing and the impact it’s having on your energy bills.

Step 7: Contributing to a Greener Future

By generating clean, renewable energy, your solar system helps reduce reliance on fossil fuels and lowers your carbon footprint. It’s an investment in sustainability that benefits both your property and the environment.
