How Solar Works

What is a Solar Photovoltaic (PV) System?

Solar PV system converts sunlight into electricity. It consists of the following basic components:

Solar Panels
The module is usually made in panel. The conversion of sunlight into electricity happens here. The electricity generated is DC (direct-current), i.e. the type of electricity that you get out of a normal battery.

Inverter
It is an electrical device that converts DC into the more useful power supply of AC (alternate current), i.e. the type of electricity that TNB supplies to your home.

Combiner Box
It contains protective devices for the system.

Export Meter
It is also called revenue meter. It is similar to the existing TNB meter you have. It is used to measure the amount of electricity generated from the solar PV system. The unit is kWh.

Solar PV System advantages:

High reliability
Photovoltaic systems are very reliable even under rough conditions.
It is designed to run continuous, uninterrupted operation of supplying electricity.

Durable
The extended warranty period of up to 20 years and even remain actively operation after that period.

Low maintenance costs
The maintenance work like repairing and costings are very low, compared to conventional fuel systems.

No fuel consumption
Don’t involve procurement, storage and transportation costs. Hence, we save from fuel consumption.

Extremely low noise pollution
The photovoltaic system can operate silently with very minimum operation movement.

Solid security
Photovoltaic systems can operate without fuel which is very safe and secure, after proper installation.

Strong independence
This new technology can operate in most residential and commercial areas as an independent energy supply and doesn’t affect other utilities.

Solar PV System advantages:

✔️ High reliability
Photovoltaic systems are still highly reliable even under harsh conditions. Photovoltaic arrays ensure continuous, uninterrupted operation of critical power supplies.

✔️ Strong persistence
Most modules in a PV system have a warranty period of up to 25 years and remain operational even after many years.

✔️ Low maintenance costs
Photovoltaic systems require only regular inspections and occasional repairs, which are extremely low cost compared to conventional fuel systems.

✔️ Zero fuel consumption
Photovoltaic systems do not require fuel and can eliminate associated procurement, storage and transportation costs.

✔️ Noise pollution is small
The photovoltaic system can operate quietly with minimal mechanical movement.

✔️ There is photovoltaic supervision
In order to improve energy efficiency, photovoltaic systems may need to add some modules.

✔️ Strong security
Photovoltaic systems do not require fuel and can be safely operated after proper design and installation.

✔️ Strong independence
The reason for adopting this new technology in many residential areas is that photovoltaic systems maintain the independence of energy production and are therefore unaffected by utilities.
