Solar Power Battery System
Solar power batteries work by storing any excess energy generated by a home. For example, if your solar panels can generate more power than your home or building needs – which is possible – the solar battery system stores it. That same power can be used to power things such as small appliances. Backup power also comes in handy during power outages, cloudy days and overnight hours.
Inverter Types
Solar inverters are an important part of your quest for a more energy-efficient home or commercial property. Inverters work to transform the power that is being produced by solar panels into usable energy. Without an inverter, the power generated by your solar panels can’t be used. Generally speaking, there are three types of inverters available, namely microinverters, string inverters and power optimisers.
Power Optimisers
Power optimisers are a type of inverter that is used in conjunction with a solar panel system. These work by optimising or boosting the current that is being fed to the central inverter. They are more cost-effective than micro-inverters and more efficient than traditional string inverters. These are explained as DC-DC converters, working to change the voltage. They collect and then feed the property’s solar energy production.
