Solar photovoltaic (PV) technology has been widely adopted in the UK, with nearly every street featuring solar panels. These panels generate direct current (DC) electricity when exposed to sunlight, producing around 400 Watts at 30 volts each. However, homes use alternating current (AC) at about 240 volts, which necessitates the use of solar panel inverters. The inverters convert the DC electricity from the solar panels into AC, making it compatible for household use. Wiring configurations, such as connecting panels in series, can affect the voltage output prior to conversion.
Solar photovoltaic (PV) panels generate electricity from sunlight and produce direct current (DC), which must be converted to alternating current (AC) for home use.
To match household electricity, solar panel inverters play a vital role by converting the direct current generated by solar panels to alternating current.
A solar panel can produce approximately 400 Watts of power at around 30 volts, but homes require 240 volts AC, necessitating the use of inverters.
Solar panels are installed in a specific wiring configuration; when connected in series, the voltage adds up, while the inverter converts this DC electricity.
