You always hear about questions raised by the customers related to Solar panels like their performance, problems due to shadow, or durability of solar panels. In this blog, we will discuss important information about the installation of a solar panel. Many solar experts suggest that if a solar panel does not install correctly, you may face many problems within a few days, months, or years.
Let us see how to do the proper solar installation, which will live for a long time and provide you with a long-term benefit. Now we will discuss the components used in Solar System Installation.
Solar Panels
The solar panel is the primary component of our solar system. It collects solar energy directly from the sun and converts that light into electrical energy.
Solar inverter
The solar inverter is a device that change/converts Direct Current (DC) into Alternating Current (AC). It is the central component of the solar system by that we can say it is the Brain of the Solar System.
Solar Battery
A solar battery is a powerful storage device that stores electricity made by PV modules. When the grid supply cuts off, it starts giving storage energy to the appliances to runs smoothly.
Solar Charge Controller
Solar Charge Controller is a specific device which used converts a regular home inverter into a solar inverter.
Solar Mounting Structure
The solar mounting structure is the backbone of our solar system, which provides strength as well as support to our modules. It also protects our plants from natural phenomena like heavy wind and rain, etc.
Accessories used for solar installation
There are some minor and significant components are using in solar panel installation. We will discuss with you one by one.
DCDB
DCDB is a protection device that is used to protect the inverter if there is any fault during failure on the DC side.
ACDB
ACDB is an essential part of our solar system. It provides extra protection to the system in case of failures on the load side. The ACDB receives AC power from the solar inverter and directs it to AC loads / LT panels.
Lightning Arrester
Lighting Arrester (LA) protects our solar plant and other electrical appliances from thunder lightning.
DC Cable
Solar panels are the source of direct current (dc). It can be used within an extensive temperature range and are generally in outside areas. These cables are installed indoors in the hazard area, in explosion areas, in very high temperatures.
AC Cable
AC Cables is used to connect the inverter with grid power and home loads/appliances. They are usually installed outdoor and indoors too.
MC4 Connectors
In the modern days, the panels have come with MC4 Connectors because they make your wiring much easier and faster. These connectors come in both male and female type which is designed for snap together.
Cable Lugs
Cable lugs allow to supply and distribution of electric current without any difficulties between electrical cables. Lugs are used where a permanent connection is not possible between devices or cables.
PVC Pipe
PCV Pipes are used for giving extra protection to our wire and also provide long life to our wiring done.
Chemical Compound
Bentonite is used to lower the resistance of the earth by providing ground, effectively reducing the resistance of the soil and copper rod.
