How Do Solar Panels Work?
Understanding how solar panels work helps you make informed decisions when investing in renewable energy for your Exeter property.
Step-by-Step: How Solar Panels Generate Electricity
- Sunlight Hits the Panels
Solar photovoltaic (PV) panels are typically mounted on your roof. When sunlight hits the panels, it creates a flow of direct current (DC) electricity.
- Inverter Converts Power
The DC electricity travels to an inverter, which converts it into alternating current (AC) — the type of electricity used by your home or business.
- Powering Your Property
The AC power flows into your electrical system, powering everything from lights to appliances. If you’re generating more than you use, the surplus can be exported to the grid.
- Battery Storage (Optional)
With battery storage, you can store excess energy for use at night or during power cuts — increasing energy independence.
- Smart Meters & Grid Export
A smart meter tracks how much energy you generate and export. Under the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG), you can earn money for the unused energy you send back to the grid.

Q4: Do solar panels work during Exeter's cloudy days?
A: Absolutely. Solar panels in Exeter generate electricity even on cloudy days—just less than on sunny ones. Battery storage helps maximise every unit of power.

A: Yes. With the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG), Exeter residents can earn money for unused energy their solar panels export to the grid.
