Solar PV Panels
PV panels function by absorbing daylight and using it to create free electricity. Currents created by all of the panels combined adds up to enough electricity to help power your home.
System Shunt
A solar PV system shunt is a safety mechanism that functions as a circuit breaker. It provides a means to disconnect your electricity supply during an emergency, ensuring safety for you and your home.
Power inverter
The raw energy that is generated from the panels is referred to as DC or direct current. The inverter converts DC into AC electricity (alternating current) for storage and use around your home.
Distribution Board
Your solar panel system is connected directly to your homes distribution (fuse board). Simply put, this is a control panel center for the entire electrical system of the home or business.
Battery Storage
Highly advanced batteries retain the free electricity sent from your power Inverter. Here it is stored for later use. This eliminates renewable electricity from being exported back to the grid.
Monitoring
Solar PV phone and computer applications provide you with real time information and historical data allowing you to understand your generation from your panels and how it is used in your building.
Car Chargers
