The 3 key elements to a solar energy system are the Panels, Inverter and Racking
One of the key decisions to be made is the type of inverter to install. Inverters convert direct current (DC) energy generated by your solar panels into usable alternating current (AC) energy. After the panels themselves, inverters are the most important equipment in your solar power system.
Net Metering
1.Photovoltaic cells absorb the sun’s energy and convert it into a DC electric current.
2.A solar inverter converts that DC current into an AC electric current for use in the home.
3.Your electrical panel then sends this electricity throughout your home to power your electronics.
4.Excess power not utilized by the home is sent to the grid for credit which can be used for the future. A bi-directional meter will be installed to record these credits.
String Inverters
Are commonly installed and comprise the vast majority of the world’s inverter market. If you have an unshaded roof then a string inverter is your most economical option and your system will operate efficiently without shading losses.
Power Optimizers
Are located at each panel, instead of converting the DC electricity to AC electricity at the panel site, they “condition” the DC electricity and send it to a string inverter. This approach results in higher system efficiency than a string inverter alone. Power Optimizers are great for partially shaded areas.
Micro Inverters
Micro-inverters such as Enphase are installed on each individual panel in a solar energy system. They convert the DC electricity from your solar panels into AC electricity on your roof, with no need for a separate central inverter. Micro Inverters are great for partially shaded areas..
