Product details

A residential solar rooftop system consists of photovoltaic (PV) panels installed on home roofs to convert sunlight into electricity, typically ranging from 1kW to 20kW capacity. These systems reduce electricity bills, lower carbon footprints, and can operate on-grid (with net metering) or with battery storage to provide uninterrupted power. Key Components Solar Panels (PV Modules): Convert sunlight into direct current (DC) electricity. Inverter: Converts DC electricity into alternating current (AC) for household use. Mounting Structure: Secures panels to the roof (angled for optimal sun exposure). Net Meter/Bi-directional Meter: Measures electricity exchanged with the grid. Types of Systems On-Grid (Grid-Connected): No batteries; excess power is fed back to the grid for credits, and electricity is drawn during low production. Off-Grid: Uses batteries to store power, making it independent of the grid. Hybrid: Combines both, powering the home, charging batteries, and selling excess power to the grid.
