Connection of PV solar panels

The first step in making the sunlight to electricity network is the solar cell. Photovoltaic cells convert sunlight into electricity by a process in which light energy as a photon environment of the solar cell and creates a small amount of electricity. Groups of these cells are a special group, as assessed by the number of watts the panel can generate time under best conditions for the cell. The panels can be assembled into modules that can include inverter and solar panels.

The Inverter
This solar energy is formed the panel in the form of direct current (DC), supplied the drive. The work and the push is to convert the direct current brought the solar panel into alternating current (AC) to be submitted to the mains. The reason for the network it uses AC power and DC to DC for transmission over long distances without significant loss of power. AC can be transferred to hundreds of kilometers, and the minimum power loss, making it ideal for power distribution system.

The inverter converts direct current to alternating current through two switches that convert the energy positive DC power supply positive to negative alternately. The investor then will step up the voltage of 12 volts to 120 volts. This voltage converter is what allows a pole UK solar 12 volt DC to be connected to a network of 120 volts AC.

The Utility Indicator
Meter does not rise to 120 volts AC energy of your cells has created, and it measures in terms of kilowatts (kW), where each kilowatt equals 1,000 watts of energy.

To understand how much energy is in a kilowatt to generate a kilowatt, a 200-watt solar system would operate at an efficiency of up to five hours. Fortunately, when solar cells are "working" they are sitting up and require no attention, if only 200 W system to produce two kilowatts during a 10-hour day.
