How solar works Suntech panels deliver clean reliable energy and help lower your electricity bill all year round.

Suntech solar panels 1 convert sunlight into DC power (12 V or 24 V)

The inverter converts DC power into 240 Volt AC power for household use

When solar production exceeds home consumption the meter measures your export and your account will receive a credit *

Any surplus electricity simply flows back into the mains grid for use elsewhere.

* In areas with Net metering. In regions with Gross metering you get paid for all the solar power generated. Specifications are subjected to change without further notice. www.suntech-power.com
