WHAT
IS SOLAR ELECTRIC SYSTEM?
Solar or Photo
Voltaic (PV) electric system is composed of solar panels which has arrangement
of PV or solar cells that are exposed to sunlight and convert it to electricity
in the form of direct current (DC). The DC Power is stored into Batteries
through a Charge Controller. The DC Power is passed through an Inverter that
converts the DC power into alternating current (AC) which can be used for
household lighting and run appliances. Bigger systems can be used to supply
power for industrial and commercial use.
Typically, the
batteries will be charged during daytime and the stored power will be consumed
at night time. The PV system’s components specifications and sizes will depend
on the size of the load. Components are available from China, Japan, USA and
Germany.
Countries like the
Philippines with plenty of sunlight will have good application of efficient PV
systems. The Philippines with more than 7,000 islands, currently has difficulty
in providing power to far flung or remote areas
- Sunlight is FREE
