Can solar panels work while I'm not at home?
Yes, solar panels can continue to generate electricity while you are not at home. Solar panels are designed to capture sunlight and convert it into electricity, and they will continue to do this even when you are not home.
The electricity generated by the solar panels will typically be sent to a solar inverter, which converts the electricity from direct current (DC) to alternating current (AC). The AC electricity is then sent to your home's electrical panel, where it can be used to power your home's electrical appliances and devices.
If the amount of electricity generated by the solar panels is greater than the amount of electricity being used in your home, the excess electricity will be sent to the grid. This can earn you credits with your utility company, which you can use to offset the cost of the electricity you use from the grid at other times.
In general, solar panels can continue to generate electricity while you are not at home. The electricity generated by the panels will be sent to your home's electrical panel, where it can be used to power your appliances and devices, and any excess electricity will be sent to the grid.
