A kWh is a unit of measurement. A kilowatt-hour measures the amount of energy that is used or generated over an hour. When you see kWh on your monthly energy bill, it's a measurement of your electric appliances' wattage and the amount of time that you are using them.
Solar saves you money on your power bill, and the environment
As the price of power continues to increase, solar is the easy way to make savings on your power bills. An added bonus is that by powering your home on sunshine you’ll also be cutting your carbon footprint. With solar you don’t need to change how you use power just where it comes from.
How do solar systems work?
It can seem a little complex from the outside, but put simply, our solar systems absorb as much of the sun’s energy as possible and convert it into electricity.
They do that by running it through an inverter, which converts the electrical current (known in this case as ‘DC’) into electricity (‘AC’) and regulates its flow. Any excess energy that your house can’t use is then stored in your smart battery. This stored energy is either sold back to the grid or saved for when there’s less sunshine to convert into energy. Smart, right?

Solar systems converts sunlight into electricial energy through photovoltaic (PV) panels. The solar panels generate DC energy. Each solar inverter converts this DC energy into usable AC energy that is used to power your home. Any energy that is generated is first used to power your home. Any excess energy is stored in the battery to be used in the evening, or is sold back to the grid.
