Solar Charge Controller

A solar charge controller is needed if you choose to store the solar panels electricity in solar batteries. As we all know the intensity of the sun energy is totally controlled by nature and there is no guarantee the electric solar panels will produce a constant amount of electricity. A reliable solar charge controller will allow the uncertain solar panels’ voltage to safely charge the batteries. Without this controller you can potentially overcharge your batteries and damage the devices connected to it. For lead acid batteries overcharging may lead to internal crystallization which reduces the batteries’ lifespan. Read the rest of this entry »

Solar Inverter

Photovoltaic cell converts sunlight into direct current (DC) electricity. This type of electricity will not be suitable for household application because for home appliance we normally use alternating current (AC). A solar inverter is needed to do the current inversion.

Storing the Solar Panels Electricity

Solar panels need no time to convert sunlight into electricity. As soon as they receive photons from the sunlight electrons contained within the semiconductor will be activated by the photons energy and break the barrier, creating a flow of DC current. The electricity generating process is very straight forward and done quietly because there are no moving parts involved. They also emit zero by-products during the process.
