| Component |
Purpose |
| Solar Array |
Converts sunlight to direct current electricity through the photovoltaic effect. |
| Inverter |
Converts direct current electricity from the solar array to alternating current electricity that can be used by the building and by the grid. |
| Haywood Meter |
Measures the system output and performance, and transfers the data back to Haywood for billing and monitoring. |
| Electrical Distribution |
Facilitated by the building's existing electrical panel. |
| Utility Meter & Grid |
Supplies electricity when solar system output is less than the building's electrical loads, and takes back electricity when solar system output is grater than can be used. |
| Building Electrical Loans |
Are first met by solar system output, and are seamlessly supplemented by electricity from the grid. |
