Solar Electric Power Systems
Solar system has a mechanical and electrical components that can convert and store electrical energy that can be used to run your home. Start the calculation that you want to do is an energy audit. You need to evaluate the amount of power that will be needed per day preferably in kilowatts / hour. So the need to consider is the location of your home. That will determine the type of solar system you need is a factor such as climate, number of days of peak sunlight per day, average rainfall and number of days of peak sunlight per year. This calculation can be done by companies that make solar electricity system, and they will guide you in choosing solar electric power systems that are appropriate for your home.
Solar electric power system consists of several components. Some of the components that you will find in the solar electric power system is a primary collector, an inverter, a circuit breaker, battery, charge controller, for collectors and mount the display panel. Collector is a component that collects the sun’s energy. In normal cases, is a solar panel collectors. Collectors on the roof is still using the cushion. Location of solar panels is very important and must be in place where the sun will fall in the maximum on it. Is the ideal place solar panels on the north-south as it will ensure that even if the sun from east to west, the panel get the sun for longer duration.
Inverter is the component that will convert the 12 volt DC power to AC power. Based on the location of the power inverter can convert the 110 volt DC to 220 volt. One of the most important component is the circuit breaker or fuse box. This component has a switch and fuse is important to set the transfer energy from the solar panel to the battery or directly to the outlets. Circuit Breakers control the amount of power that will flow to the outlet and will act as security devices for the application.
If you want to have the storage, then you need to buy one or more batteries depending on your needs. If you have then you need a battery charge controller. This component will ensure you are not over or less in charging battery that will reduce the ability of the battery.
