Whether you're learning solar installation, researching a system or working on a practical project, you'll find useful information here.
Solar installation is more than connecting panels to an inverter. Correct system design, conductor sizing, protection, voltage drop and installation practices all matter.
Explore the major areas involved in designing, installing and maintaining solar power systems.
Learn about panel power ratings, Voc, Vmp, Imp, Isc, series connections, parallel connections and array configuration.
Understand hybrid inverters, off-grid systems, inverter ratings, battery voltage and PV input requirements.
Explore battery capacity, system voltage, charging, battery banks and practical battery-system considerations.
Understand PV wiring, battery cables, cable length, voltage drop and conductor selection.
Learn about appropriate fuses, breakers, isolators, disconnects and protective devices used in solar systems.
Practical troubleshooting for charging problems, low PV production, voltage-drop problems and inverter issues.
The major components that work together to create a functional solar power system.
Converts sunlight into electrical energy.
Converts and manages electrical power according to the system design.
Stores electrical energy for later use.
Provides appropriate isolation and overcurrent protection.
Not sure what cable size to use? Use the dedicated calculator to estimate a suitable conductor size based on your system voltage, current, cable length and allowable voltage drop.
A good installation starts with planning and correct system design before the equipment is connected.
Determine the energy requirements, loads, available space and system objectives.
Select appropriate panels, inverter, battery capacity, wiring and protection.
Install and connect the equipment according to the equipment manuals and applicable requirements.
Verify connections, polarity, voltages, protection and system operation before use.
