Established in 2013, Clean Energy Solutions, Inc., has received numerous awards and recognitions, including Ygrene Energy’s Million Dollar Club Award in 2016. From its headquarters in Los Angeles, California, Clean Energy Solutions provides clean solar energy to homeowners, schools, businesses, and nonprofits across the country.
Here are the basic components of a home photovoltaic system:
- Panels. Panels are the black or blue slabs visible on the roofs of homes, schools, and businesses and other organizations. They are made up of smaller units called solar modules, which are comprised of minute solar cells. The solar cells trap photons from beams of sunlight, energizing electrons into a direct current (DC) that is then fed into an inverter.
- Inverter. The inverter converts DC into alternating current (AC), which is more compatible with grid power. This AC power is then sent to the home’s main electrical panel for distribution into the home.
- Mounting equipment and tracking mounts. Whereas mounting equipment keeps solar panels in place on a roof, tracking mounts are relied upon to move the panels slowly throughout the course of the day, tracking the movement of the sun so that the panels absorb as much sunlight as possible.
- Wiring and fuse box connections. These are minor hardware connections that support the flow of electricity from the solar panels into the mains circuit.
