subject: Solar Power Electric Generator - A Renewable Source Of Energy [print this page] These solar generators are available in various kits depending on the application but are basically formed with two main components: the solar panels and the inverter. When sunlight is converted into electricity by the solar panels, direct current or DC electricity is produced. DC is not used in homes so it should be converted into an alternating current or AC by an inverter. An appliance or a heater system then utilizes the produced AC current. Excess DC electricity produced by the generator is stored in batteries, which can be retrieved for later use.
