Conventional solar systems have three main components

1. solar panels (rigid or flexible)
2. a hybrid inverter that manages solar and mains input to provide domestic 220v current
3. batteries in which to store excess solar energy for use later

This is the most cost effective solution but requires some configuration experience and is not advised if shading to some of the panels is a problem.

Plug & Play systems use micro-inverters, and are plugged directly into your existing domestic system – no complicated wiring, nothing to manage.

• Solar panels can be rigid or flexible
• Batteries are optional
• Total energy management solutions available

Plug & Play is the only solution for many urban dwellers and is technically superior where shading to some panels is an issue. No configuration knowledge required.

Power stations can form the basis of a domestic power system.

Connected to rigid or flexible solar panels and then to a domestic fuse panel, the power station includes

• solar controller,
• battery, and
• inverter.

It is extremely versatile but remains expensive compared to the sum of its parts.
