Mounting your pv panels is of critical importance.

Basic solar system diagram.

Sixteen panel solar system. First lets face it. Basic concepts of solar panel wiring aka stringing to have a functional solar pv system you need to wire the panels together to create an electrical circuit through which current will flow and you also need to wire the panels to the inverter that will convert the dc power produced by the panels to ac power that can be used in your home and. To the left are the basic components required to produce electricity from the sun.

Solar panel pv panel 2 charge controller. Only you have to know some basic electrical and math for designing the entire system. Solar power system diagram. The solar panels a charge controller two 6 volt golf cart batteries and a small inverter.

The basic solar power system diagram minus the various circuit breakers combiner boxes cables shunts grounds and other details. Here is a list of the pv system basics. We focus primarily on solar and will therefore simply use the phrase solar energy system or solar power system. Dividing by 50 depth of discharge as you choose flooded that is 18000 0 5 36000wh or divde by 0 8 if for agm batteries that is 18000 0 8 22500wh.

I m posting this for the beginner. You will need one or more solar panels a charger controller a power inverter and of course batteries. The cost of this complete solar system in today s pricing for the components was about 1200. Instead of this i have attached links of my other instructables to make the charge controller and energy meter.

Their placement and mounting affect your system performance more than any other facet of the job. Pv panels which cost anywhere from 2 40 per watt to over 5 per watt are the single biggest expense of a pv system. Basically that is 1500w 12 18000wh. Our simple home solar power system is comprised of four basic components.

First is solar power worth it. For an off grid solar system you need four basic components. A brief explanation on each follows.
