Solar Panels – These convert sunlight (photons) into DC electricity. They are the source of your energy during the day.
Inverter (Off‑Grid / PCU) – Converts DC output from panels/battery into AC (230V in India) which household appliances use. Also handles switching between solar/battery.
Battery Bank – Stores excess electricity produced during the day to use at night or during clouds/power cuts. Without a battery, you have no backup when sun isn’t available.
Wiring & Connectors – The cables, connectors (e.g. MC4), junction / distribution boxes (DC & AC), switches, fuses. These link the panels, battery, inverter, and load.
Component | What They Use / Do |
---|
Solar Panels | 2 panels of ~165 W each— gives ample wattage and some buffer. |
Inverter | 1,250 VA / 12 V DC off‑grid inverter — handles converting stored DC (and/or solar DC) to AC. |
Battery | Solar tubular battery 150 Ah / 12 V DC — stores energy for non‑sun hours. |
Protection & Accessories | AC / DC distribution boxes; connectors MC4; wiring; earthing/fuse kit etc. |
