FAQS: Solar
What parts are there in a solar panel system?
The main parts include the roof-mounted solar panels, the hybrid inverter, battery, isolators and energy management computer which are housed in a single cabinet, and the electrical sub board. There are also railings for attaching the panels to your roof and cabling that runs from the panels to the inverter and to your switchboard.
Inverter – changes the energy produced by the panels and stored in the battery in to usable AC power
DC and AC isolators – Isolate the flow of current at the point of the isolator
