How do Solar Panels Work?

If you've ever wondered about the inner workings of solar power, you've come to the right place. Solar energy is a clean, abundant, and renewable source of power that has gained immense popularity in recent years. Let's dive into the fascinating world of solar energy and explore how it works.

Understanding the Photovoltaic Effect

At the heart of solar power is the photovoltaic effect. When sunlight, comprised of photons, strikes the surface of certain materials, such as silicon, it dislodges electrons from their atoms. This process generates a flow of electricity. Solar panels, also known as photovoltaic (PV) cells, are designed to harness this effect and convert sunlight into usable electricity.

The Journey of Sunlight to Electricity

Solar panels consist of multiple PV cells interconnected within a panel. When sunlight hits the solar panels, the PV cells absorb the photons and initiate the photovoltaic effect. As a result, the freed electrons start flowing in a specific direction, creating a direct current (DC) of electricity.

Converting DC to AC Electricity

To power our homes and businesses, we require alternating current (AC) electricity. That's where inverters come into play. The DC electricity produced by solar panels is sent through an inverter, a crucial component of the solar system. The inverter converts DC electricity into AC electricity, ensuring compatibility with the standard electrical systems used in buildings.

Grid-Connected Solar Systems

Solar power systems can be connected to the local electric grid, enabling a two-way flow of electricity. In a grid-connected system, excess electricity generated by your solar panels during the day is fed back into the grid. This not only offsets your electricity consumption but also allows you to earn credits or receive compensation for the surplus energy you contribute. At night or during times of high energy demand, you can draw electricity from the grid to meet your needs. It's a reliable and seamless solution that optimizes your energy usage and reduces your reliance on fossil fuels.

Solar Incentives for New Jersey Based Nonprofits

Going solar in New Jersey offers nonprofit organizations significant benefits, including lower electric bills, income from the NJ SREC-II Program, and a 30-40% Federal Tax Credit. Solar installations also increase property value, as energy-efficient properties are in high demand. By adopting solar, organizations contribute to a cleaner environment while supporting New Jersey’s renewable energy initiatives, all while benefiting financially.

Environmental Impact

For the average New Jersey nonprofit organization, adopting solar energy reduces their carbon footprint, lowers energy costs, and contributes to a cleaner, healthier environment while supporting the state’s renewable energy goals.

Lower electric bill

With solar, NJ based nonprofits can reduce their energy bills and protect themselves from rising utility rates by generating their own power.

Earn Income from the NJ SREC-II Program

Qualified nonprofits earn $110 for every 1,000 kWh their system generates over 15 years, in addition to energy savings through net metering.

30% Federal Direct Pay Credit

Nonprofit organizations can benefit from the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) of 2022 with Elective (Direct) Pay. This allows nonprofits to receive a 30% federal tax credit reimbursement directly from the IRS, with no approval required. Some projects may qualify for bonus credits.

Increased property value

Buildings with solar panels can see a significant increase in value, as buyers increasingly prioritize energy efficiency and long-term savings, boosting property appeal.

Solar Solutions & Payment Plans for your Nonprofit

Empower your New Jersey based company with flexible solar payment plans designed to align with your budget and sustainability goals.
