Common Questions about PV² Energie Philippines Inc.
Q: How does a solar power plant work?
A: A solar system converts sunlight into electricity using solar cells, inverters, and mounting structures. Sunlight generates direct current in the cells, which an inverter converts to alternating current for use on-site. Excess power can be fed into the grid under feed-in-tariff programs or net metering, as per Philippine regulations like the Renewable Energy Act of 2008.
