Main components of a solar power plant
A solar power plant is a system consisting of various components that work together to convert solar energy into usable electricity. The main components of a solar power plant are:
1. Solar Panel
The solar panel, also called a solar module, is the most important part of a solar power plant. These panels are made up of photovoltaic cells that convert sunlight into electrical energy.
- Task: Generate DC (direct current) electricity.
- Features: High efficiency, resistance to weather conditions, and long lifespan.
- Types: Monocrystalline and polycrystalline panels selected based on project needs.
2. Inverter
An inverter is a device that converts DC electricity generated by panels into AC (alternating current) electricity that can be used for household appliances or injected into the power grid.
- Task: Energy conversion and optimization of production capacity.
- Features: High efficiency, online monitoring capability, and long durability.
- Top Brand: Growatt is one of the most reputable inverter manufacturing brands in the world.
3. Mounting Structure
These structures are used to install panels and are responsible for holding the panels at the proper angle towards the sun’s rays.
- Features: Resistant to wind, earthquakes and environmental conditions.
- Types: Fixed and Tracking to optimize the beam angle.
4. Battery Storage System (if needed)
In off-grid or hybrid systems, batteries are used to store energy generated during the day and use it at night or in cloudy conditions.
- Task: Storing electricity for continuous use.
- Features: High capacity, long lifespan, and high efficiency.
- Types: Lithium-ion and lead-acid batteries.
5. Electrical Panels
These panels contain equipment for the management, control, and safety of the electrical system.
- Task: Power distribution, protection against fluctuations and faults, and control of system performance.
- Features: Equipped with safety switches and power measuring instruments.
6. Cables & Connectors
This section is used to transfer electrical energy from the panels to the inverter and then to the consumer.
- Features: Resistance to heat, UV rays, and corrosion to maintain electrical transmission quality.
7. Monitoring System
This system allows for online monitoring of the performance of the solar power plant.
- Task: Display energy production information, errors, and component status.
- Features: Access via app or web platform.
8. Grid Connection (if connected to the grid)
In grid-connected systems, the generated energy is transmitted to the grid and used to balance production and consumption.
