Solar System and Its’ Functions

Components That Comprise a Solar System and Its’ Functions

A solar system comprises different components that help produce, distribute and store the generated energy. Here we will discuss these components and their functions. So, if you are in Brisbane or Gold Coast and planning to install a solar system in your home or office but don’t have any idea about the system, this discussion will help you out.

So, without further delay, let’s see the components of a solar system and how they work.

  • Solar Panels

The technicians will carry out the solar panel installation service in Brisbane after inspecting your roof as these are the most important part of the solar power system. The panels convert the light energy to electrical energy which you can use to power up your home or office.

There are two types of solar panels that you can install. They are polycrystalline and monocrystalline. The latter is a bit more efficient when it comes to electricity generation and expensive as well. 

You will need to buy the panels based on the energy that you require to power up your home or office. At the same time, you should also check the efficiency of the panels, whether they will fit on your roof, the climate, and the sunlight frequency in your location.

If you follow these and choose the panels, you can expect a seamless power supply that can meet your requirements easily.

  • Solar Inverter

Similarly, if you are in Gold Coast, the technicians providing the solar panel installation in Gold Coast will install solar inverter after they have completed the installation of the panels.

The inverters convert the direct current produced in the panels to alternating current which will then be supplied to your home or office.

However, when it comes to choosing the inverters, there are three types. They are

Centralized Inverters: These are affordable but are not that much efficient if there is shade on your roof. Thus, to meet small requirements, you can install these inverters.

Micro-inverters: They are inexpensive inverters and are very efficient. They can thus meet both residential as well as commercial needs.

  • Solar Racking

Before carrying out solar panel installation in Brisbane or Gold Coast, the professionals will install racking systems on which the solar panels are mounted.

These systems offer the correct angle at which the panels can be installed so that they can get proper sunlight so that they can properly generate the required electricity.

  • Storage System

Next, the solar installers will install the solar batteries to store the power that is being generated by the panels.

There are different types of batteries and depending on your power requirements as well as the panels will the technicians install the storage system. 

  • Performance Monitoring System

The solar installers in Brisbane and Gold Coast will finally install a solar performance monitoring system that will help you track the amount of electricity that is generated by your panels. Moreover, with the help of the system, you can also track performance changes of the entire solar power system.

To conclude, these are the components that comprise the system and here we have given an overview of each of them. But before the installation, you should ask the installers about the quality of the components and take their help to choose the best ones.
