A solar panel system in a building is a collection of solar panels or modules that are installed on the roof or façade of the building to generate electricity from sunlight. The solar panels are made up of photovoltaic cells, which convert sunlight into direct current (DC) electricity. A solar inverter is then used to convert the DC electricity into alternating current (AC) electricity, which can be used to power appliances and electronics in the building. The system may also include batteries or other energy storage devices to allow for the use of solar power during periods of low sunlight or at night. A building with a solar panel system can reduce its reliance on traditional sources of electricity and lower its carbon emissions.
