Solar PV system components
PV Array
Collects sun light in its crystalline cells, generating standard form electricity
Inverter
Transforms the energy from the PV array into usable electricity
Output Monitor
View the power your system in generating and watch the profits
Putting it all together
The PV array collects the sun light or even daylight radiation via tiny crystalline cells, which is then generated into a standard form of electricity, known as Direct current (DC).
This electricity is then sent to the inverter which transforms it into usable electricity (AC).
The clean electricity is then fed into the main fuse board, which can then be used in the household or sent back to the main power grid.
Solar PV system sizing
Solar PV systems come in all different sizes, based on the number of panels or inverters used to generate electricity. Unlike other household energy generators, such as a boiler or a heater, Solar PV systems can be relatively any size providing the roof is big enough.
The size of the system is measured in large units called kilowatts. Once we know the size in kilowatts, we can use a calculation to estimate the annual hourly generation of that system.
From this calculation we can estimate your return on investment.
