What does a solar system consist of?
A solar system is made up of different components. These include solar / PV modules (groups of solar / PV cells), also called solar / PV panels; one or more batteries; a charge regulator or controller for a stand-alone system; an inverter for a on-grid (or grid-tied, grid-connected) system and when alternating current (ac) rather than direct current (dc) is required; wiring; and mounting hardware or a framework.
