Lightweight 200 Watt Monocrystalline Solar Panel Solar PV Module

200W Solar Panel Kit

Solar energy systems are based on the photovoltaic effect and work by converting solar energy into electrical energy. Its main component is the solar panel. Here's how a solar system works:

Photovoltaic panels capture solar energy: Solar panels are composed of multiple photovoltaic cells and are typically made using semiconductor materials such as silicon. When sunlight hits the surface of the panel, photons excite the electrons in the panel, causing them to gain energy and start flowing.

Generation of DC Electricity: The flow of electrons in photovoltaic panels generates direct current electricity. These electrons are transferred to the junction box via wires attached to the panel.

Role of controller and inverter: Electric current flows from the solar panel to the controller and inverter. The controller manages the battery charging process to ensure that the battery will not be overcharged or overdischarged. Inverters convert direct current into alternating current for use in home appliances and devices.

Grid interconnection or energy storage system: The electricity generated can be used to meet the energy needs of a home or building. For situations where there is enough sunlight and the solar system generates more electricity than is needed, the excess electricity can be connected to the grid through an inverter and sold to the power company. Additionally, there is the option to store excess power in the battery pack for later use by a charger or for use at night or when the weather is dark.

System monitoring and maintenance: Solar systems are often equipped with monitoring systems to monitor energy production, battery charge and discharge status, and system operating conditions. In addition, regular cleaning and maintenance keep the surface of the panels clean, helping to maintain optimal power generation efficiency.

Overall, solar systems can significantly reduce reliance on traditional energy sources by converting sunlight into electricity to supply the electricity needs of a home or building, while reducing environmental pressure on non-renewable resources such as fossil fuels.
