How Does Solar Power Become Electricity?
A solar power generating system is comprised of solar battery panels (arrays), a controller, storage batteries, a solar inverter (or more if necessary), a lighting load and others. Among them, the solar battery panels and storage batteries are the power supply system, the controller and solar inverter are the control and protection system, and the lighting load is the terminal of the system.
1. Solar Panels
Solar panels are devices that absorb sunlight and turn solar radiation energy into electricity directly or indirectly through photoelectric effect or photochemical effect. Most parts of the solar panels consist of "silicon". The shortage of this method is that the cost is so much that this method of generating electricity cannot be currently widely promoted and used throughout the world.
2. PV Brackets
PV brackets are specially made stands which are used to place, install, and fasten solar panels in the solar power generating system. There are usually made of aluminium alloy and stainless steel. These brackets are therefore very strong and supportive, and will never make the appearance of these panels look ugly.
3. Solar inverter
Usually the direct current from the solar panels will be transmitted to a solar inverter (or pv inverter), and then this device will convert the current into alternating current, which can be directly used or connect the grid. This device plays an essential role in the whole system, and so its quality must be the topmost concern for a buyer.
4. Solar Energy
Running and Monitoring System When a family installs the solar PV system, the solar energy running and monitoring system will be installed, and it will constantly monitor your power production and make sure your system is working fine. As soon as malfunctions or faults occur in the system, the installer will inform you and repair the errors. But why does the installer know these faults? The reason is that signals of this kind will be automatically sent to the installer through a built-in device.
5. Power Distribution Equipment
The alternating current flowing out of the pv inverter will reach the power panel (or switch box). At this time the electricity can be used for your whole family.
6. Electricity Meter
The electricity meter will consistently record the power supply of your family. When the electricity amount reaches beyond what your family really needs, the electricity meter will redirect this electricity to the public grid for sale. Or if you think you need it to store for later use, the system can also help you as long as you tell the installer you need this function. Surely he will tell you how to control this as well.
7. Public Grid
Although now you are independent of the public grid, you may need it sometimes when special occasions occur. What occasions? At least, now I can list one typical example here for you. If in rainy days the system cannot generate electricity and your electricity storage is in shortage, and you still need power supply, the public grid will begin to work to supply enough electricity to sustain your family use.
