A "solar system" is technology that converts radiant energy from the sun into electrical or heat energy. In the picture above, the photovoltaic cells in the solar panels change radiant energy to electrical energy. The electrical energy can be used to power appliances in the building. Electricity not needed for the building may be sold to electric utilities using the electric grid.
