A complete solar system consists of a solar panel, a battery and a charge controller. In some cases, a power inverter is also required.
Solar Panels Also known as a Solar Charger, a solar panel captures sunlight and produces direct current (DC) power. When a solar panel is connected to a battery, this power is stored in the battery. Multiple panels can be connected together for increased power. Sunsei's Solar Panels are designed to be easily mounted and installed.
Charge Controller A charge controller is a device that is connected between the solar panel and the battery. A charge controller is designed to monitor the battery and prevents the solar panel from overcharging while assuring a complete charge. Charge controllers are recommended in most installations.
Power Inverter A solar system requires a power inverter when the Direct Current (DC) power needs to be converted into alternating current (AC) power to operate appliances or supply power to the utility grid.
