A complete home solar electric system requires components to produce electricity, convert power into alternating current that can be used by home appliances, store excess electricity and maintain safety:
The solar panels
They are installed outside the home, typically on the roof and convert sunlight into electricity.
Inverter
Solar panels and batteries produce direct current (DC) power. Standard home appliances use alternating current (AC). An inverter converts the DC power produced by the solar panels and batteries to the AC power required by appliances.
Battery
Solar power systems produce electricity during the daytime, when the sun is shining. Your home demands electricity at night and on cloudy days – when the sun isn’t shining. To offset this mismatch, batteries can be added to the system to store the electrical energy produced by the solar panel to restore it when the electrical demand is higher compared to consumption.
The watt meter
It allows us to know our daily energy production
Charge Controller
A charge controller or charge regulator is basically a voltage and/or current regulator to keep batteries from overcharging. It regulates the voltage and current coming from the solar panels going to the battery.
