Solar power systems are a renewable energy source that utilizes sunlight to generate electricity. The three main components of a solar power system are solar panels, batteries, and inverters. These components work together to convert sunlight into usable electricity.
- Solar Panels: Converting Sunlight into Electricity
Solar panels are made up of many photovoltaic (PV) cells. Each PV cell is composed of a P-type semiconductor and an N-type semiconductor. When sunlight strikes the PV cell, it creates electrons and holes, which results in an electric current. This is known as the photovoltaic effect. The output voltage of a solar panel depends on the intensity of sunlight and the efficiency of the PV cells.
The electricity generated by solar panels is direct current (DC), while most household appliances use alternating current (AC). Therefore, an inverter is needed to convert DC electricity into AC electricity. Batteries can store the electricity generated by solar panels for use when needed. The capacity of a battery determines the amount of electricity that can be stored.
- Inverters: Converting DC Electricity into AC Electricity
An inverter converts the DC electricity stored in batteries into AC electricity. The efficiency of an inverter determines the amount of electricity lost during the conversion process.
Changing Inverter Settings to Use Battery Power
Inverters typically have two input terminals:
- One for connecting solar panels
- One for connecting batteries
The inverter can select the power input based on the following conditions:
- The output voltage of the solar panels
- The voltage of the batteries
- User settings
Users can choose the power input and operating mode through the inverter’s settings. For example, users can choose to prioritize solar panels or batteries.
