This is the main component of a PV solar system and it is the biggest expense in the system. The efficiency of the system depends mostly on the panel’s quality. The PV panel consists of photovoltaic modules, that represent an assembly of numerous solar cells. A solar cell is an instrument that uses the energy of sunlight to make electrons move and by that converts this energy into electricity. The solar cell has two layers that are stuck together. The electrons in the first of those two layers react when hit by light. A single electron “jumps” to the second layer and makes another electron react the same way. This movement spreads to all the electrons and this is how the flow of electricity is created in the solar cell.

The PV inverter is a device that changes direct current, produced by the solar panel, to alternating current (240V). The inverter for each system is different. We already mentioned that the efficiency of the system depends mostly on the solar panel. This statement is not entirely true. The impact of the inverter on the electrical output is considerable too. If it’s not efficient enough, there can be a big waste of electricity as heat while the direct current (DC) is getting transformed to alternating current (AC).

Also the PV (convergence) Box is a power conversion system. In PV installations, UNICOBOX functions between the DC field and the AC MV grid connection point.

The PV Box performs the DC power concentration, the DC/AC conversion and the AC voltage elevation to the grid voltage level. It is a device of huge importance for the safe operation of the whole PV system. It ensures people using the PV System are protected and prevents the installation from electrical faults such as short-circuit during storms, etc.
PrimeSolar’s optimized versions of a PV box – UNICOBOX, allow a reduction of the costs, an augmentation of the reliability and an improvement of its deployment speed.

The components, linking the whole system into one, are the connectors and the cables. They also have significant effect on the performance of your PV solar system. When you make your final choice, be sure you carefully selected all the components, including the smallest pieces, such as the cables. Do not underestimate the importance of each part of the system. You can trust PrimeSolar to provide you with high-quality PV solar system with long term warranty.
