Go up to the attic and see if there are wires or pipes coming from the panels. Could be you have a solar water heater. They are more common. Your hot water system will have a circulating pump controlled by a thermostat.

Electric solar panels will generate DC which will not be usable in a standard house unless it is converted. Solars usually are used in conjunction with batteries.

Are the solar panals for a hot water system or for an electrical system? Different type of panels and they have different purposes. Call a solar expert(check yellow pages) and seek their opinion.
