Solar electric systems are famous renewable energy options due to its low maintenance and long lifetime elements as there are no moving parts, hence the least chance of mechanical failure. Most of the solar electric systems continue to produce power for 30 years or more!

As there is seen in advance with greater efficiency and lower prices, resulting in a massive increase in demand. Though there is an enormous advancement in technology, basic solar panel construction has not changed much over the years.

Solar panel renders electricity from sunlight, and it is made of silicon crystal slices which are known as cells, glass sheet, aluminium frame and a polymer backing. Solar panels can vary in size, type, shape, and colour. It works best at cooler temperatures, and proper mounting allows for cooling airflow around the modules.

We are one of such solar brands that ensure high-quality solar panels and our expert maintenance warranty plans.

We all are aware of solar panels now but are aware of its niche components which are available in multiple brand names let us check them out below:

1.Solar photovoltaic cells

A solar cell is an electrical device that converts the energy of light into electricity directly by photovoltaics, which is a physical and chemical phenomenon. Individual solar cell devices are often the electrical building blocks of photovoltaic modules, known colloquially as solar panels.

The primary attributes of solar cells are to absorb the light developing electron-hole pairs. The desperation of charge carriers of opposite types and separates extraction of those carriers to an external circuit.

 

2.Batteries

The lithium-ion batteries are the best option for a solar panel system, though other battery types can be more affordable. If the energy developed is not used immediately, it can be stored in a battery array. Any extra electricity generated after the batteries are charged can be sent back to the power grid in a grid-hybrid system.

They are three types of batteries that are most common to RE systems are:

Flooded lead-acid

Sealed absorbed glass mat

Sealed gel cells

 

3.Extruded Aluminium frame

It is around solar panel glass covering the top and the back-sheet at the bottom. It generates the electricity from sunlight use of the photovoltaic effect of the sun battery semiconductor materials. It ensures to fed into the main electricity supply of a building or can be sold to the public electricity grid.

Aluminium solar panel flame is used to seal and fix solar battery component by providing structural stability for a combination of glass, Diamond Resorts, back sheet and cells.

It protects the solar energy components, acts as good conductive properties used as lighting protection during thunderstorms.

4.Solar Inverters

A solar inverter will take(DC) from batteries and turns it into (AC). There are 2 main types of inverters, or grid-capable and, standalone units. They are string inverters and microinverters where a string inverter will convert the energy from a string of into AC electricity to be used in your home or business. Simultaneously, others allow the power from the solar panels to existing independently from each other.

There is a different range of available inverter suited to different system needs and situations. It converts the DC power developed by the solar panels and batteries to the AC power required by appliances. Solar power systems generate electricity during the daytime when the sun is shining.

 

5.Back-sheet

The back sheet is the rearmost layer seen in solar panels whose function is to act as a moisture barrier. At the same time, its final external skin provides both electrical insulation and mechanical protection. It is made of various polymers or plastics including PET, PP and PVF which offer different thermal stability levels, safety and long term UV resistance. It is white but is also available as clear or black depending on the manufacturer and module.

 

 

6.Junction box – diodes and connectors

The junction box has a simple, but essential role as it is known for housing all the electric bits on a solar panel while protecting them from the environment. Some wires connect to diodes inside, providing an easy way to link panels together.

A junction box has bypass diodes which ensure the power flowing in one direction and prevent it from feeding back to the panels. A diode protects every string as it acts as a gateway that provides an endless flow of power.

If a portion of a solar panel is shaded, it will consume power, reversing electricity flow.

 

Conclusion 

We are happy that you are planning to pursue a solar panel system no matter if you choose to install the system on your own or whether you hire a professional installer, make sure to connect our solar panel experts once. They will provide you with practical solutions as we are a niche-based brand in the solar panel industry who can advise and help you with correct solutions.
