Solar energy system home is generally composed of photovoltaic array composed of solar cell modules, solar charge and discharge controller, battery bank, off-grid inverter, DC load and AC load.
Photovoltaic phalanx converts solar energy into electric energy under the condition of illumination. The solar charge and discharge controller supplies power to the load and charges the battery bank at the same time.
In the absence of light, the battery bank supplies power to the DC load through the solar charge and discharge controller. Meanwhile, the battery also supplies power directly to the independent inverter, which is converted into alternating current by the independent inverter to supply power to the AC load.
Domestic solar energy system is composed of solar cells, solar controller and battery (group).
If the output power is 220V or 110V ac, an inverter is also required for solar energy system home.
Home solar energy system is a technology that converts light energy directly into electrical energy by using the photogenic volt effect at the semiconductor interface.
The key component of this home solar energy system technology is solar electricity
After the solar cells of home solar energy system are packaged and protected in series, a large area of solar cell modules can be formed, and then the photovoltaic home solar energy systemcan be formed by combining with the power controller and other components of solar energy systems for home.
The advantage of photovoltaic power from solar energy systems for home is that it is less restricted to places because the sun shines;
Photovoltaic system of solar energy storage battery also has the advantages of safety and reliability, no noise, low pollution, no consumption of fuel and the installation of transmission lines can be on-site power generation and power supply and short construction cycle.

TPT: The back cover of the solar cell, fluorinated plastic film, is white and reflects sunlight, so the efficiency of the components is slightly improved. Due to its high infrared emistivities, it can also reduce the working temperature of the components, which is also conducive to improving the efficiency of the components.
Of course, the fluorinated plastic film has the basic requirements of aging resistance, corrosion resistance and air permeability as required by solar cell packaging materials.

Controller for home solar energy system
The solar controller of home solar energy system is composed of dedicated processor CPU, electronic components, display, switching power tube, etc.
Main features of home solar energy system
1. Using single chip microcomputer and special software to realize intelligent control;
2. Accurate discharge control using battery discharge rate characteristic correction.
The final discharge voltage is the control point modified by the discharge rate curve, which eliminates the inaccuracy of the simple voltage control overdischarge and accords with the inherent characteristics of the battery, that is, different discharge rates have different final voltage.
3. With overcharge, overdischarge, electronic short circuit, overload protection, unique anti-reverse connection protection automatic control; The above protection does not damage any parts, does not burn insurance;
4. Adopting the main circuit of serial PWM charging, the voltage loss of the charging circuit is reduced by nearly half compared with that of the diode charging circuit, and the charging efficiency is 3%-6% higher than that of the non-PWM, thus increasing the power consumption time; Overdischarge recovery of lifting charging, normal direct charging, floating charging automatic control mode to make the system by longer service life; It also has high precision temperature compensation.

6. All controls are industrial-grade chips (only for controllers with Industrial-grade I), which can operate freely in cold, high temperature and humid environment.
At the same time, crystal timing control is used, and timing control is accurate.
7. The potentiometer adjustment control set point is cancelled, and the e-side memory is used to record all working control points, so as to digitize the setting, and eliminate the factors such as the deviation of potentiometer vibration and temperature drift that make the control points appear errors and reduce the accuracy and reliability;
8. Use of digital LED display and settings, one-button operation can complete all the settings of home solar energy system, the use of extremely convenient and intuitive role is to control the working state of the entire system, and the battery has played a charge protection, over discharge protection.
In the place with large temperature difference, the qualified controller should also have the function of temperature compensation.
Other additional functions such as light control switch and time control switch should be optional for the controller.
Solar lithium battery of home solar energy system
The role of batteries is to store the electricity generated by solar panels when there is light, and release it when needed.
Solar lithium battery is the application of "battery" in solar photovoltaic power generation, mainly using lead-acid maintenance-free battery, ordinary lead-acid battery, colloid battery and alkaline nickel-cadmium battery.
Domestic widely used solar batteries are mainly: lead-acid maintenance free batteries and colloidal batteries, these two types of batteries, because of its inherent "maintenance free" characteristics and less pollution to the environment, very suitable for reliable performance of solar power systems, especially unattended work stations.
Inverter of home solar energy system
The direct output of solar energy is generally 12VDC, 24VDC and 48VDC. In order to provide electric energy to 220VAC appliances, it is necessary to convert the direct current energy generated by household solar power generation into AC electric energy. Therefore, dC-AC inverter is needed.
Home solar energy system is divided into off-grid and grid-connected solar energy systems:
1. Off-grid solar energy generation system.
It is mainly composed of solar cell module, controller and battery, and ac inverter is needed to supply power for AC load.
2. Grid-connected solar energy system means that the direct current generated by solar modules is converted into alternating current conforming to the requirements of the municipal power grid by the grid-connected inverter, and then directly connected to the public power grid.
Centralized large-scale grid-connected power stations in the grid-connected power system are generally national-level power stations, which are mainly characterized by the direct transmission of the generated power to the power grid, and the unified distribution of power to users by the grid.
However, this kind of home solar energy system is relatively difficult to develop because of its large investment, long construction cycle and large floor space.
The distributed small-scale grid-connected home solar energy system, especially the integrated photovoltaic building power generation system, is the mainstream of grid-connected power generation due to its advantages such as small investment, fast construction, small floor space and great policy support.
