Other Key Components of a Solar System
In addition to the solar panels, hybrid inverter (which already includes a built-in charge controller), and batteries, a complete solar system requires several other important components to ensure safe, efficient, and reliable operation:
Mounting Hardware/Racking System:
Secures the solar panels in place on your roof or a ground-mounted frame, while ensuring the proper tilt angle for optimal sunlight exposure.
Wiring and Cabling:
Durable, weather-resistant cables connect the entire system and safely carry electricity between components.
DC and AC Disconnects / Breakers:
Safety devices that allow for manual or automatic shut-off of different parts of the system for maintenance or emergencies.
Lightning Arresters:
Provide critical protection against electrical surges caused by lightning strikes, helping safeguard both your equipment and your home.
Power Distribution Box:
Organizes and protects the connections between the inverter, batteries, and household loads, while simplifying maintenance and enhancing safety.
