It’s disgustingly simple. The panel has a micro-inverter built right in. This little box converts the sun’s energy into power your home already uses.
You connect it to a special cable that plugs into a regular outlet. That outlet is connected to your home’s main electrical panel. The power just… leaks in.
The sun feeds your fridge directly. No batteries. No permits. No men in hard hats yelling about watts.
The Quirky Truth About “Backfeeding”
Here’s the nerdy, fun part. Your outlet is trying to push power out to your devices. The solar panel is trying to push power in. They meet in the middle.
This is called backfeeding. It sounds gross, like a burp in reverse. But it’s just physics doing a friendly handshake.
Your home uses the solar power first. Anything left over? It doesn’t spin your meter backwards (sorry, dreamers). It just gets ignored by your appliances.
