In a typical solar power generation system, the sunlight strikes the solar panels, generating DC electricity in the photovoltaic (PV) cells. The DC voltage travels through cables to the inverter and the inverter converts the DC electricity into AC electricity. The silicon atoms absorb the photons with enough energy.
