How the System work:
1. During daylight hours, sunlight shines
on the solar panels
2. The panels collect and convert the
energy to DC electricity
3. DC electricity is processed by an
inverter into standard AC power
4. The AC power flows through a meter
operated by the Local Distribution
Company (LDC)
5. The power is then fed directly to the
Ontario grid's electrical system
