The major components of a grid-connected solar generating system are as follows:
Solar Array is a group of solar panels which absorb solar energy and convert this to DC power. The number and type of solar panels will determine how much energy you can produce, as will your geographic location. Inverter converts the direct current electricity from the solar modules to utility-grade alternating current that is perfectly synchronized with the utility grid.
Utility Energy Meter (reversible) measures the net energy consumed by the customer. The meter spins forward when the customer draws energy from the utility grid and the meter spins backward when excess PV energy is fed to the grid. Electrical Distribution occurs via the building’s existing electric panel with no additional equipment required.
Solar Mounting Racks can be used to mount solar panels on the pitch/flat roof or ground. This mounting system provides a standardized option for speed, ease and low cost of installation.
