The goal is to convert the energy from sunlight that hit on your roof into useful electricity.When the sun is up, particles of sunlight called photons hits the Solar
Panels on your roof. Your Solar Panel or Solar cell uses these photons
to produce a direct current (DC) electricity. These Direct Current or
electrons flow out of your Solar Panel into your Inverter. The work of
the Inverter is to convert the direct current (DC) into alternating
current (AC). This is very needful as most appliances in your home
including your Television set, computers, and many other electronic
devices need the AC power to operate.
So far I have introduced to you the following components of a Solar Power system or a PV System:
Now, what I just gave to you now is how perhaps the simplest solar power system works.
A more complete PV system for use especially in Sub-Saharan Africa and
developing countries where electricity production and distribution is
poor will also include:
- Batteries: For storing electricity for future use
- Charge controller: For a control and optimal charging of the battery
- Stabilizers: For the effective regulation of input voltage.
Thanks for sharing that how do solar panels work. It is very much useful post for me.
