Source sentences:
text: Solar panels produce electricity when sunlight hits their surface, and they produce the most energy when that sunlight is exactly perpendicular to the panel face.
text: Solar panels take light from the sun and make electricity.
text: The power is “net metered,” which means it reduces demand for power from the utility when the solar array is generating electricity – thus lowering the utility bill.
text: Your solar panels will often generate more electricity than what you are capable of consuming.
text: If you’re in the Northern Hemisphere, a solar array facing directly south will produce more electricity than one facing west, east, or north because it will receive more hours of sunlight.
text: In order for utility-scale solar to be an effective dispatchable energy resource, batteries and other types of storage can be leveraged to accumulate solar energy that can then act as a dispatchable system when the solar panels aren’t producing electricity at night.
text: When the sun is shining and your solar panels are producing electricity, that electricity can be measured in both voltage (measured in volts) and current (measured in amps).
text: To charge the batteries, the solar panels must produce electricity with a higher voltage that the batteries.
text: If it’s night time and your solar panels aren’t producing electricity, you can pull from the local grid and maintain your supply of power.
text: As I said earlier, the more a solar panel is perpendicular to the sun's rays, the more it produces electricity.
text: Solar panels can’t produce electricity at night or during periods of dense cloud cover, so a solar electric system must either have batteries for storing electricity or a backup source (such as a connection to the grid).
text: Solar panels effectively make electricity by utilizing the sun’s energy.
