Solar energy works by converting sunlight into electricity using solar panels. These panels, composed of photovoltaic cells, absorb sunlight and generate a flow of electricity. Solar energy is versatile and can be used to power various applications, including homes (grid-tie & off-grid), RVs, cabins, boats, and portable power stations. Solar energy offers sustainable solutions for diverse power needs.

Shop with us to find high-efficiency, durable, and reliable solar energy systems that help reduce your carbon footprint and energy costs.

Solar energy works by converting sunlight into electricity through the use of solar panels. These panels are made up of photovoltaic (PV) cells, which absorb sunlight and generate a flow of electricity. This energy can then be used to power various applications, from residential homes to RVs, boats, and remote cabins. Here's a breakdown of the process:

  • Photovoltaic Cells: The solar panels contain photovoltaic cells that capture sunlight and convert it into direct current (DC) electricity.
  • Inverters: The DC electricity generated by the solar panels is converted into alternating current (AC) electricity using an inverter, making it usable for home appliances and other electrical devices.
  • Energy Storage: Excess energy produced can be stored in solar batteries for later use, ensuring a continuous power supply even during cloudy days or at night.
  • Energy Independence: Solar energy systems can be designed for both grid-tie and off-grid applications, offering flexibility and independence from traditional energy sources.
  • Environmental Impact: Solar energy is a renewable resource, helping reduce carbon emissions and reliance on fossil fuels, contributing to a cleaner environment.

The best solar panels available in Canada include bifacial solar panels and portable solar panels from top manufacturers like Hanwha, Longi, REC, Jinko, and Canadian Solar™. These panels offer high efficiency and durability for various climates and energy needs. Explore our solar panels page for more information. To understand how many solar panels you might need, visit our comprehensive guide.

The choice of solar battery depends on your specific energy needs. We offer top batteries from brands like Victron Energy, Sol-Ark, Battle Born, and Pytes. Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) batteries are ideal for those seeking efficiency, longevity, and minimal maintenance, making them perfect for both stationary and mobile setups. Lead carbon batteries offer durability and are a cost-effective option for off-grid systems. Learn more about your options in our Essential Guide to Solar Batteries. Explore our Lithium Batteries Collection and Lead Carbon Batteries Collection.
