How does a solar farm actually work?

How does a solar farm actually turn sunlight into electricity you can use?
Thousands of solar panels may be the most visible part of a solar farm, but they're only the beginning. The electricity they produce still has to be collected, converted, transformed, and connected to the electrical grid.
In this video, we follow the complete journey:
โ๏ธ Sunlight hits the solar panels
โก Solar cells generate DC electricity
๐ Inverters convert DC power into AC
๐ Transformers increase the voltage
๐๏ธ The solar farm connects to the electrical grid
We'll also explain why the electricity from a solar farm doesn't travel directly to a specific houseโand reveal the hidden infrastructure doing much of the work behind those massive fields of panels.
If you've ever driven past a solar farm and wondered what all those panels are actually doing, this is how the system works.
