|
Before you install your home energy solution, you'll need the following components. These are listed in the order they will be wired into your solar energy system.
Solar Panels - In most DIY applications these will be built by you. You order discount photovoltaic cells, and assemble those into 50W, 75W, or 100W Panels.
Array DC Disconnect - This simple device is basically just a switch. It allows you to cut the DC power from your solar panels should system maintenance be required. If you shop around you'll likely pay less than $25 for this component.
Charge Controller - Most home systems will be built with a battery backup. The charge controller ensures that a consistent amount of power is sent to the batteries, and that the batteries don't discharge at night. Again, if you shop around for this component, it won't be a large expense.
