Steven Smith:
I'm Steven Smith, the owner of Phoenix Solar Panel Systems. I'm out here in beautiful Phoenix, Arizona off Camelback Road at an install that we recently did. Now, this system right here on this flat roof has 23 REC 325 watt solar panels and it's actually tilted off the roof due south to get the most generation out of the panels. This is a 7.475 kilowatt system. That means it produces 7,475 watts. Now what you looking at right here, this big box, this is the SMA Sunny Boy Inverter and you can see the metal tubing comes down from the top of the house, from the solar panels into this inverter. Now what the inverter does is it converts DC energy, which the panels create into AC energy, which your home uses. Now a little bit, I'm going to show you where this metal tubing goes back to the main breaker. I'm going to show you that in just a second

Out here on the other side of the home and as you can see, this is the main electric breaker box. Now the power that comes from the inverter, well, initially it comes from the solar panels to the inverter, and then it comes to this box, which then powers anything in your home that the solar panels can power at the time. The electricity that's generated by the solar panels is then meant for immediate use in your home. And anything you don't use immediately in your home is going to be sent to the grid. Now, there's metal tubing that comes out of this electric box and then it goes to the meter that we're going to show you next.

So this is the last point of the solar system right here. The solar energy is produced by the panels. It comes down to that inverter box that I showed you. It's converted to AC energy and then it goes directly to your electrical box on the side of your home. Now, any energy not immediately used in the home is then sent to this meter right here and after this meter, it goes to the grid for whatever utility company you have. Now, if you had a battery on your home, the energy would first then hit that battery before it comes to this meter. Now, any energy in your home not used if you have a battery is then sent to charge that battery. And say the battery's full or for this system, you don't have a battery.

All the energy that comes here, this is a disconnect box that will stop energy from going to the utility or not. If it's turned on, it's going to hit this meter. Now this meter, the purpose of it is to count all the energy that you're sending to the grid. Whether you have APS or SRP here in the Phoenix Metro area, you're going to get credits for any energy that you send to the grid. So we want to make sure you get the right credits and that's the purpose of this meter here to count the credits of energy that you're sending to the grid. Now that's pretty much all the system here. We've covered everything. Again, I'm Steven Smith. I'm the owner of Phoenix Solar Panel Systems. Thanks a lot for watching this video.
