Conventional solar systems have three main system components:

1. Solar Panels
   They are most likely to be rigid because they are the most cost effective. Most commonly roof-mounted they can also be installed at ground level wherever is convenient. A 450w rigid panel measures roughly 1.6 x 1m and weighs some 26Kgs. Orientation is a major factor in overall solar panel performance, the optimum being south facing at roughly 40° inclination. Manual and automatic orientation systems are readily available.
2. Inverter
   Connected to your solar array, this device converts the relatively low solar panel output voltage to the 230v required by a domestic system. There are two different types:
   1. single central hybrid inverter is the most important single component of your system. Provided that shading to you solar panel array is not an issue, then this is always the best and most cost-effective technical solution. It manages everything automatically and is connected to and charges your batteries.
   2. multiple micro-inverters are to be chosen only if exposure of the solar array is affected by shading. They are connected to individual panels so shade only affects those directly concerned. They can be connected to batteries but the connection is much less simple than that for a central hybrid inverter.
3. Battery
   When there is more solar energy than is being consumed, the excess is used to charge your batteries. Our inverters do not upload surplus to the grid.to avoid possible system validation rules that vary from country to country. We offer 3 kinds of battery – all of LifePo4 chemistry:
   1. Conventional in a maximum 48v capacity of 2400w
   2. “Pylontech” type rack units
   3. Mass storage units in 5, 10, and 15Kw configurations.

We are European distributors for the market leaders – Hepway. Their product is technically different to that of our other suppliers. Firstly the inverter ONLY works with their batteries and their batteries are designed for immediate stacked connection controlled by a master battery. This is less expensive and reduces installation cost.
