Getting your head around solar power basics isn't as hard as you think. The essential components are: Panels; Mountings; Batteries & Charge Controllers (optional); Inverter(s); Wiring (both AC and DC); Grid Connection Components (optional). Panels generate DC power from sunlight. Mountings mount the panels to a roof, pole, or other structure. Batteries store power for later use and Charge Controllers manage how the batteries get charged. Inverters convert the power from DC to AC, which most household devices use. Proper Wiring connects the components in an efficient way. Grid Connection Components make it possible to sell excess power back to your power company. The question of how to size your solar system to suit your needs is a complex process MADE SIMPLE by SolarEden.com. Our Usage page helps you calculate your needs presicely and in a variety of ways to make it easy for you. Then we match this to one of our System Templates with components properly selected for your usage.
