 WHAT ARE THE COMPONENTS IN A PHOTOVOLTAIC (P.V.) SOLAR PANEL?

Converting solar radiation to electric energy is a complex process. The photovoltaic panels are the root of the successful energy conversion process to occur. But on their own, they are incapable of producing a reliable electric current. The panels require a channel of more components to make safe and usable energy. Check out those elements below:

 

Photovoltaic module

This, as stated earlier, is the core element that houses solar cells. Every cell acts as a conversion unit that produces D.C. voltage when light from the sun hits it. Note that the P.V. modules can generate a voltage from any source of light, not just sunlight.

 

D.C. & AC wiring

The DC and A.C. are responsible for switching on/off power to and from the inverter.

 

Inverters

The solar inverter is responsible for taking D.C. from batteries and turning them to A.C.

 

Batteries

These store electric energy chemically in renewable energy entities. They are also known as solar battery storage.

 

Solar controllers

As its name suggests, the solar controller’s work is to regulate the current fed into the battery tank.
