A solar array is a collection of multiple solar panels that are electrically connected to form a single system capable of producing significant amounts of electricity from sunlight. When sunlight hits the panels, the photovoltaic (PV) cells inside each one convert that energy into direct current (DC) electricity, which is then sent through an inverter to produce alternating current (AC) power—usable by homes, businesses, or the electrical grid.
Solar arrays come in many configurations and sizes, from small rooftop systems designed to offset residential energy use to large-scale ground-mounted installations powering commercial or municipal facilities. They can be installed on rooftops, parking lot carports, or open fields depending on available space, structural conditions, and energy production goals. The design and orientation of a solar array—its tilt, angle, and direction—are carefully engineered to maximize sunlight exposure and efficiency throughout the year.
