Solar Panels: The Power Collectors
Solar panels are the most visible part of your system. Their job is simple and vital: they collect sunlight. Each panel is made of photovoltaic (PV) cells that convert sunlight into direct current (DC) electricity. They are the foundation of your entire system, working hard all day to capture the sun’s energy.
The Inverter: The Brain of the System
This is a critical piece of technology. The electricity produced by solar panels is in DC form, but all your home appliances run on alternating current (AC) electricity. The inverter’s job is to act as the “brain,” converting the DC power from your panels into usable AC power for your home. It’s what makes the solar energy you collect usable for your lights, fans, and electronics.
Batteries: The Energy Storage Unit
A solar battery is an optional but highly valuable part of a solar system. It allows you to store any excess energy your panels produce during the day. This stored energy can then be used at night or during a power outage. A battery gives you true energy independence, ensuring you have reliable power 24/7, even when the sun isn’t shining.
