It is important that before deciding to install a solar energy system, you know very well what the components are and what installation will entail. In this way you will be prepared for the work that will be done. In addition, if you will place a system at home you must understand a little how it works.
The following are the main components of a solar energy system:
Photovoltaic panels
This is the main component of a solar energy installation, since they are responsible for receiving this energy and transforming it into electrical energy. These are large solar panels that are placed in a place where there is a good amount of sun. They are made up of high quality crystals. These have a useful life of 25 years, enough time to recover the investment.
investor
This is a very relevant component, since it will depend on whether the energy produced by the system can be used. It produces continuous energy, and the inverter converts it into alternating energy that can be used in a home. The useful life of this component is 10 years.
battery
The battery is also very important, because it would allow you to use the solar energy system in the hours when there is no light. The battery is responsible for storing the excess energy and saving it for when energy cannot be produced.
Motorization system
The sun moves, so it will not always affect the panels correctly. So the motorization system allows you to move the panels as the sun moves so that you always have the best incidence of them.
structure
The structure is all the support where the solar energy system is mounted. These must also be of high quality, since they will be exposed to the weather and the elements could damage it. In addition, this will allow the system to capture the greatest amount of solar energy.
