SOLAR PV SYSTEMS
A Solar PV (Photovoltaic) System is a renewable energy setup that converts sunlight directly into electricity using solar panels composed of semiconductor cells. This electricity can be used immediately, stored in batteries, or fed into the grid. Solar PV systems are commonly used for residential, commercial, and industrial power generation.
Domestic PV System
A domestic photovoltaic (PV) system, also known as a home solar power system, is designed to generate electricity for residential use by converting sunlight into electrical energy. These systems can reduce reliance on grid power, lower electricity bills, and decrease carbon footprints. It is normally customised to users requirement and composes of;
Solar Panels (Modules): Capture sunlight and convert it into direct current (DC) electricity.
Inverter : Converts DC electricity generated by the solar panels into alternating current (AC) electricity, which is used by home appliances.
Mounting System : Secures solar panels to the roof or ground.
Battery Storage (Optional) :Stores excess electricity generated during the day for use during the night or during power outages.
Charge Controller (if using batteries): Regulates the voltage and current coming from the solar panels to prevent overcharging the batteries.
Electrical Panel (Breaker Box): Distributes electricity from the inverter to the home’s electrical system.
Monitoring System: Tracks the performance and energy production of the PV system, often via an app or web portal.
Types of Domestic PV Systems
Grid-Tied System: Connected to the public electricity grid.
Off-Grid System: Completely independent from the public electricity grid.
Hybrid System: Connected to the grid but also includes battery storage.
Commercial PV System
A commercial photovoltaic (PV) system is designed to generate electricity for businesses, industrial facilities, and other commercial entities by converting sunlight into electrical energy. These systems are typically larger and more complex than residential systems, catering to higher energy demands and often integrating advanced technologies for efficiency and monitoring.
