Q:
What is a solar system?
A:
Solar energy system is a system that converts solar energy into electrical energy house appliances use or sold to the public grid. The system mainly includes: solar panels (produce DC power); and inverter (converts DC power into AC power) for households to use or sell to the publicgrid. Mounting systems are used to support and fix the solar panels based on the appropriate installation angle; At the same time, adding battery storage that can be used at night or on cloudy days is optional.
-
Q:
What are the main types of photovoltaic (PV) solutions?
A:
1. Grid-connected PV system Directly connected to the public grid, the generated electricity is fed into the grid and used for household appliances. 2. Off-grid PV system Operates independently of the public grid, usually equipped with energy storage equipment ( lithium batteries or lead-acid batteries) to achieve energy independence. 3. Hybrid PV system Combining both grid-connected and off-grid, it can be connected to the public grid and energy storage system at the same time, using solar power generation to supply electricity during the day, and storing the surplus electricity in batteries or feeding it into the public grid; using energy storage electricity at night or during power outages.
-
Q:
What is an energy storage solution, and what scenarios is it suitable for?
