Solution
The components of solar photovoltaic system are,
Solar Module : Solar module is the essential component of any solar PV system that converts sunlight directly into DC electricity.
Solar Charge Controller : Solar charge controller regulates voltage and current from solar arrays, charges the battery, prevents battery from overcharging and also performs controlled over discharges.
Battery : Battery stores current electricity that produces from solar arrays for using when sunlight is not visible, nighttime or other purposes.
Inverter : Inverter is a critical component of any solar PV system that converts DC power output of solar arrays into AC for AC appliances.
Lightning protection: Lightning protection prevents electrical equipments from damages caused by lightning or induction of high voltage surge. It is required for the large size and critical solar PV systems, which include the efficient grounding.
