Electricity from a solar power plant is transfered in the same way as other power production methods. The power enters the grid at a “sub station” and runs through a transformer to bring it to the right transmission voltage. The power then travels down the desired power line to a residential substation for example. This substation transforms the power into 240v single phase power. This power is spit in half at each houses electrical box and provides all the home outlets with 120V Ac.

In case it,s a Photovoltaic Panel – through electric Wire.
In case it,s in use to warm Water up – through water pipe or tupe.
