Home Solar Power System

A typical home solar power system comprises a solar panel, solar controller, batteries, DC loads, DC-AC solar inverter, AC loads, and can connect with the power-grid. In the daytime, the solar panel collects the solar energy which is converted to electric energy, solar controller controls the energy by MPPT technology to drive the solar inverter and DC loads, and charges the batteries as floating charge. In the night, the batteries are the power supply to DC loads and solar inverter which drives the AC loads.
