Types of Solar Systems
For homeowners, there are three types of solar system connections available for installation:
Off-Grid Solar System – Works independently without relying on the electricity grid.
On-Grid Solar System – Connected to the electricity grid, allowing excess power to be fed back.
Hybrid Solar System – Combines both on-grid and off-grid features with battery backup.
Essential Components of a Solar Power System
Essential Components of a Solar Power System
To install a solar panel system in your home, the following components are required:
1. Solar Panel
1. Solar Panel
Solar panels are the core component of the system. They contain solar cells that absorb sunlight to generate electricity.
2. Solar Inverter
2. Solar Inverter
The energy collected in the form of Direct Current (DC) is converted into Alternating Current (AC) using a solar inverter, making it usable for household appliances.
3. Solar Battery
3. Solar Battery
A solar battery stores electricity to ensure power availability during outages or at night when solar panels are inactive.
4. Solar Charge Controller
4. Solar Charge Controller
This device regulates the current from the solar panel to the battery, preventing overcharging and over-discharging.
5. Panel Rack Stand
5. Panel Rack Stand
A solar panel rack system provides support and ensures the panels are positioned at the optimal angle for maximum efficiency.
6. ACDB (AC Distribution Box)
6. ACDB (AC Distribution Box)
This component protects the solar inverter from AC-side electrical faults and is commonly used with grid-tie inverters.
7. DCDB (DC Distribution Box)
7. DCDB (DC Distribution Box)
DCDB safeguards the solar inverter from DC-side electrical faults and is used in both off-grid and on-grid systems.
8. DC Wire
8. DC Wire
DC wires are essential for transferring Direct Current from the solar panels to the inverter, often routed through PVC pipes for safety.
9. AC Wire
9. AC Wire
AC wires connect the solar inverter to the grid and home electrical load.
10. MC4 Connectors
10. MC4 Connectors
These connectors securely join DC wires to the solar panels, ensuring a stable connection.
11. Earthing Kit
11. Earthing Kit
