Conventional systems are the least expensive but if one or more solar panels experiences shading that will significantly reduce the amount of solar energy delivered to your hybrid inverter.

The systems have three main 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. Hybrid Inverter
   Connected to your solar array, this device converts the relatively low solar panel output voltage to the 220v required by a domestic system.
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.
